Sporty's vs King Schools
Starting ATP school in 2 months. I am looking to supplement my studies and help with the written exams before starting. I am trying to decide between Sporty's and King's online classes to help. What are the pros and cons of both?Which would you choose?

I used Sporty’s to study for my PPL written before I even started flight school. I thought it was ok, I mean I passed, so…. FFWD to starting flight school and having to do the King’s School curriculum for ground and I can now say definitively that I much prefer Sporty’s. The quality and modern feel of the videos make them more engaging. Better UI as well with Sporty’s. I used them to pass my Instrument written (IRA and FII) and now studying for commercial. I still have to do the King School ground to satisfy my flight school but I’ll continue on with Sporty’s on my own.

I went with Sporty’s for their 3D flight instructional vids whereas Kings uses some very outdated material. Check out some content from both on YouTube and you’ll see what I mean. Both can prep you well but choose the one that best fits your learning style.

I definitely would prefer sporty’s! The videos are really nice and well explained. I’m a newer pilot but I think it’s really helped me understand things better. I’ve heard from friends that king schools is good, but I think Sporty’s explains things really well.

King is the most cringeworthy by a country mile.
Its presents material like you’re a 4 year old with a learning disorder.

Care to share why you choose ATP?
