Does anyone know if King Schools makes a Sport Pilot groundschool available for DVD and not Computers? I don't want to sit down in front of a computer forever. I'd reather watch it on a DVD player.

I have a set of Sport Pilot ground school from King. You need to watch them on a computer so you can input the answers to the quizes. They are excellent, EXCEPT they won't work with Windows Vista! I called them about it and they had no plans to make it work with Vista. All other Microsoft operating systems seem to be fine. I took the written test after just one weekend and passed easily.

The problem with selling them is that they are registered to me. In order to take your written you need a signed Instructor Endoresement for the Sport Pilot Knowledge Test. John King will only sign that endorsement if you are the registered owner of the course.

Mine worked on my laptop with Vista and after showing my test scores to my CFI and after a short question session he signed me off to take the test...And I passed easily in about 20 min.....maybe less... They are divided up into a bunch of topics so you do not have to do them all at once or even in order. Jump around if you like or revisit a topic as much as you want. I feel it was a good investment..
