Featuring expert knowledge from an award-winning FAA flight instructor, Ground School will teach budding pilots everything they need to know for their FAA written test and beyond. By combining years of teaching know-how with cutting edge CG animation, informative video demonstrations, and more, Ground School is more than an app that teaches you how to fly — its gives you the knowledge you need to Fly Your Best, whether you're a complete novice or more experienced pilot. By following this FAA pilot knowledge course, you'll learn much more than is needed to pass an FAA written test. In fact, we guarantee you will pass that test and go on to be a better, safer pilot, too. Ground School users can look forward to: ・ Engaging videos that show you the things you need to know, perfect for visual learners. ・ Get the Pilot Perspective — Every video is filmed as if you are the one flying so there are no surprises when you're in the cockpit. ・ More than 1,000 questions that form unlimited practice tests so you know exactly what to expect when taking your FAA exam. ・ Cutting edge CG animations that help illustrate concepts that will help you understand the material in front of you. ・ The Pilot Proficiency dashboard that distills all of your interactions with Ground School into a single screen showing areas where you are strong as well as others that need work. ・ Get your endorsement to take the FAA Knowledge Test directly within Ground School. ・ And much more! Ground School is in active development and is always improving to give you the very best shot at not only passing exams, but being safe in the skies, too.

Checkride passed thanks to The Finer Points!

I started my private pilot training with the intent to learn as much as I can on my own and not pay out the nose for an expensive ground school course in person. The Finer Points was highly recommended, so I subscribed. The ability to download lessons to my iPad so I can review them on the train ride to and from work was great for understanding the foundations of flight and provided me a way to keep my mind in the sky while juggling a fill time job. I ultimately got access to a ground school training app through my flight school, but it didn't go into as much detail as TFP did or connect it back to the ACS (which I later found SO helpful during checkride prep). Another feature I enjoyed was that the lessons would require a "brush up" from time to time to keep me fresh.I felt prepared for my written exam, as well as my oral thanks to the mock testing feature. That alone was a big help for the oral, to speak out everything I know and practice being concise instead of talking myself into a hole. It's hard to get mock oral prep without using up a CFI's time for a couple of hours (read "expensive"), so I liked that I could do it when I had the time and over and over again to hone in on problem areas. I'm stoked to get started on the instrument side of the course, and look forward to all the nuances and experience Jason and the team have to share as I continue my journey towards being a CFI-- once I get there I will be sure to recommend it to all of my future students!

Hands down one of the best ground school apps

I’m very pleased with The Finer Points experience. I did traditional ground school and used this app to supplement my study. I just took my PAR and aced it and I attribute my success in large part to this app. Simply put, the best feature of this app is the “Learn more” button on every question, even on practice exams during review. For those questions you missed, it gives an explanation about the correct answer and is usually backed up with references. This combined with the spaced repetition review gives the user a solid foundation on aviation principles. On the topic of practice exams, a significant advantage of this app is the ability to review previous exams, which again gives you a better understanding via the aforementioned “Learn more” button. I know the Prepware app for the PAR doesn’t do this. The ability to save old exams makes it easier to review questions and form a study plan around those you missed. I would highly recommend this app. My only hope is the recently released instrument course is as comprehensive and easy to use as the private was.

If you are learning to fly this is absolutely your do not miss app. It will make your learning quicker and better. It is for US FAA but what is taught in here is valid everywhere. Moreover it will prevent you to fall into one of those loops that if you don’t catch it and correct fast enough it will make sure it will be serving you pain later on your journey.And if you are already a pilot you know you will never stop studying never stop learning, ever. This is the app to have and spend some hours every week. Refresh a concept. Address an issue. It will help you staying ahead and make sure you don’t miss or forget things learnt.PS Can’t wait for the instrument course part release.

The Finer Points ground school app was instrumental in my primary flight training and continues to be a very useful resource, even after obtaining my certificate. I felt confident and prepared for the written test as the practice tests were very much on point. The flying lessons really hammered home the key skills needed to perfect the maneuvers required by the ACS. Jason style of teaching is top notch and engaging. The only regret that I have is not using the Oral Test Simulator prior to my checkride. I really wish I had done so as I struggled through the oral part of the checkride. I had to discontinue after completing the oral due to not having proper maintence logs, and I rescheduled the flight portion for the following week. I took that week to go through the Oral Test Simulator in case the DPE had any follow up questions during the flight portion. Although the DPE didn't end up asking too much during the flight portion. I can tell you post-checkride, that the oral test simulator would have helped a ton. Can’t wait for the instrument ground school to be released!
