Course accuracy and effectiveness

Under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 141 deals with pilot schools. These schools are specifically approved by the FAA to teach certain courses in a structured and organized way. The purpose of Part 141 is to ensure the highest level of student training possible.

Gleim sought FAA approval for our Online Ground School course as a means of satisfying the ground school requirement of Part 141 for each pilot certificate and rating. Detailed course materials were submitted to the FAA and approved. To see the Gleim FAA Approval Letter, click here. To view the Gleim Air Agency Certificate, click here.

The Gleim Online Ground School is now overseen directly by the FAA. We are required to provide the FAA with detailed information concerning student success as a result of having taken this course. Our ability to continue to operate as an FAA-approved ground school provider is contingent upon our maintaining the highest quality of instruction possible. This has been the Gleim commitment for more than 30 years, and our recent FAA approval only further encourages us to thoroughly prepare our customers with the knowledge they will need to confidently pass the FAA knowledge test and operate safely as pilots.

The course content is based upon the Gleim "red books" and related Test Prep Software. The delivery system is modeled after the Gleim FAA-approved online Flight Instructor Refresher Course.

These courses are airplane-only and have 11 study units corresponding to the study units in the Gleim FAA Knowledge Test books.

We continuously monitor the FAA website for AFS 640 changes to knowledge tests. More importantly, we communicate with AFS 640 personnel weekly. Thus, we are privy to most changes well before they are implemented.

Access to the Online Course will expire 12 months from the date of purchase. If you need access to the course after the expiration date, it must be purchased.

You may return the course within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, if you have not begun more than two lessons.

Gleim has over 30 years of experience helping pilots develop their analysis, synthesis, and evaluation skills and abilities, in addition to rote memorization, concept learning, and problem solving. We rely heavily on the Socratic method. We are NOT entertainers.

As a result, our users enjoy both very high knowledge test scores and a near 100% pass rate. More importantly, they enjoy the benefits of learning and understanding, which increases their competence and safety as pilots.

Our course offers practice tests that prepare you for the knowledge test by using emulations of both FAA testing center formats.

Study, learn, and succeed with Gleim!
