What It Is

Ready-made curriculum support, not a new program to build

Student Pilot Resource offers two free, self-paced ground school courses that map directly onto FAA knowledge test content. Each course is organized into short modules with a scored quiz at the end — students can work through it independently, in a classroom block, or as a supplement to an existing aviation or CTE pathway.

PPL Ground School

13 modules covering everything on the FAA private pilot knowledge test — aerodynamics, systems, airspace, weather, regulations, and checkride prep.

13 modules · Certificate on completion

Part 107 Drone Ground School

9 modules covering the FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot knowledge test — airspace, regulations, weather, and drone operations.

9 modules · Certificate on completion
Why It Fits a District

Built to clear the bars that usually stall an adoption

💵

Zero cost, zero procurement

No purchase order, no vendor contract, no budget line. It's free to use today.

🔒

No student data collected

No accounts or logins. Progress saves locally in each student's browser.

Self-serve, no IT setup

A teacher can point students to the course today — no rollout or integration.

🧩

Complements existing funding

Works alongside CTE or aviation pathway programs rather than competing with them.

How It Compares

A lighter-weight option alongside existing programs

AOPA offers a well-regarded high school aviation curriculum for districts ready to adopt a full program. Student Pilot Resource isn't a replacement for that — it's a lower-commitment, self-serve option for districts that want to offer FAA test-prep material now, without a formal program adoption process.

A Note on Classroom Use

The course experience above is our standard site, which carries advertising to keep it free. We're building a distraction-free, ad-free "classroom" version designed for in-school use — if that would help your program, reach out and we'll keep you posted on early access.
