Free PPL Ground School

[j8naid]

My Covid project was to make my ground school into narrated YouTube video's. Since our ground schools are shut down, I figured I'd have videos for students to watch followed by students getting together with their instructor one on one to have the interactive portion of their learning. For everyone's benefit, I decided to make it publicly available on line for everyone to use.

A few things:
1) It's not a high quality King production - it is free after all, but I did my best not to do a death by Powerpoint (except for Air Law- not too many videos I can include).
2) Sorry about the audio. I purchased a headset just to find out at the end it was the computer mic recording, not my microphone.
3) The order is most boring to least. If you can make it through air law, you'll be able to make it through navigation.

If you aren't 100% satisfied there is a 100% moneyback guarantee.

Happy learning.

Thank you for that, hope things work out for you mate!

In the spirit of free learning -- I'll repost this comment here.

To anyone in the community interested in financial learning:

I deeply believe in financial empowerment and education for individuals.

I'm not selling a thing, I am in the early conceptual stages of writing a book on financial and investment principles I've learned that won't make me a dime, just like my personal book.

It's one way to give back.

I'm over 20 years in this game, I started from zero, to financially independent.

I freely blog my running observations and analysis on Twitter each day. @cessnadriver50

I share under the following understandings there:

I get it wrong. A lot.

I don't give tips. I might mention higher quality stocks of interest to me, This can change at any time and without notice. Mainly, It's principle based. Learning is hard work. Yours.

I'm Not a Day Trader, nor do I trade the index's. High quality names only.

I write on long term themes, 6 months out, to a multi year focus,

I take intelligent questions or comments there only, as I have time, and only publicly, as to help the community. I don't answer DM's, and I have a short fuse for abusers, they will be blocked without warning.

Sorry, I don't have the time to give individual advice, nor am I licensed to do so.

Anyone is welcome.

Looks like a fantastic resource, keep it up!
I also just want to give a thumbs up for the recommendation of Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators, it's a truly excellent text.
But, where's my boy Wolfgang Langewiesche? No recommendation for Stick and Rudder?

I think groundschool should be much cheaper than it actually is if you actually fly with the school. If not free.

Why do you think 40 hours of instruction should be free?

I disagree. I spent $300 for my PPL ground school at Brampton. I'm not training there, but those who do pay the same price (in addition to the club membership fee of ~$100ish per annum). I think that's a pretty good deal, at least compared to the cost of flight training. They do run a very professional, well organized show though. I suppose that doesn't apply everywhere.

[CaptainKirk]

That’s the way the world is going with online learning. Ground school should be taught online by watching videos. No I class teaching. Questions will be answered via a video call.

As for the cost. Charge for the groundschool but then if the student signs up for flight training in the airplane. Give it as a credit on the account.

I suppose then, as it would seem to logically follow from your argument (to me at least), that the instructors teaching these classes should be pro-bono, or close to it?

Dude, if you're trying to argue for free training, you're in the wrong place. You're either incredibly naïve, or a troll.

Well it’s already being done in other industries. You’re probably one of those boomers who argue against social media too. Keep up with the times.

You start.

Write 40 hours of quality content, offer it for free, then you can tell others what they should do.

Lead the way.

Already done!

Well Keith, when did you change your name to Alan?

[redlaser]

Are you trying to put Michael . out of business, by undercutting his book sales,

[photofly]

That's a huge amount of work dedicated to the best interests of pilots everywhere. Nicely done, and thank you.

(I particularly enjoyed the range and endurance pgi )

[Bede]

Thank you.

Lol. Right, I just remember why you liked range and endurance.

On that youtube channel, I've been working on some more advanced lessons. I'd like to hear your thoughts about the aerodynamics one. https://youtu.be/bbY0tc6-XZQ

It says “video unavailable “.

Sorry, I updated it.

[Beefitarian]

Much better. I noticed in the first minute and a half your narration is quite a bit better than when you started. Nicely done.

This is excellent and I love the price. I’m giving it 5 stars.

Cool!

I don't understand the conclusion you draw at 18:00 though.

It's the part where you are describing that as you accelerate, the vortex moves further back, and the Kutta condition develops, and thus the air flows much faster over the top of the wing than the bottom.

How can you conclude the bold part from the first part?
