Part Time Pilot is named after the modern day student pilot. Today's student pilots have a lot going on in order to achieve their dream of flying. Today's student pilots have a full time job, kids, family and other responsibilities to deal with on top of flight training. So until they become an airline pilot they truly are a Part Time Pilot. That is who Part Time Pilot was created for.
We mix old tried and trusted learning methods with new and improved tools to make ground school EASIER. We do this by offering lessons written in plain and simple English that are small and to the point in order to avoid students losing interest. We do this by offering video lessons, visual aids and mnemonic devices so that students can visualize and conceptualize the material. We do this by offering audio lessons of all our lessons so you can listen while commuting to work or going on a walk or run. We do this by personalizing every student's process to getting an endorsement for the FAA Written so that we can guarantee that the student passes the exam on the very first try and wastes no time or money.
And now we are doing this with a mobile app! Even though the Part Time Pilot ground school is 100% mobile friendly through ANY browser, the app is designed to add additional study tools and allow users to access content without an internet connection.
Disclaimers:
- The E6B calculator in this app can NOT be used during any FAA tests. You cannot use a cell phone or device for the test.
- Ground school members should only use this app IN ADDITION to their online web course at parttimepilot.com as the web course includes all features such as digital flash cards, audio lessons, videos, AI instructor chats, voice-to-voice ATC simulator and the ability to receive your endorsement.
