You Have Your License - Commercial Training will Teach You to REALLY Fly!
For man of us, we "learn to fly" in our Private training, but it's the Commercial rating where we truly master our aircraft.
FlightInsight was created by a University Aerospace Professor who wanted pilots everywhere to have access to the same comprehensive, rigorous training curriculum that institutional students have. Read the Course Syllabus here!
Commercial Ground School includes hours of videos, lectures, and tutorials designed to give you the knowledge you need to excel in the cockpit.
You'll also have access to the FlightInsight Test Prep resources. Practice from a test bank of hundreds of questions modeled on the real test. Drill down specifically on topics and questions of interest.

Hear from Our Pilots
Your videos are gold! The visuals were very helpful in trying to understand something on a micro level. I found myself thinking if only someone could make diagrams and then found this beauty. Thanks for this!
- Shawn Holmes
I actually got this. Fantastic on you for putting this in a way I can get, wish I had professors like you when I was learning math, physics...
- William Potts
Love the clear, patient and calm presentation! For me, I find this type of communication more effective; I personally need amplification of basic principles and a calm instructor who makes the subject matter clear. As a novice who doesn't want to drink from a fire hydrant of information, I'm very impressed. Thanks!
- JL Murrel
Your content is no-nonsense to the point and precisely filling a gap a lot of other guys are filling with some sort of vanity. Well done and keep at it!
- Drew Rodaniche
One of the best, most applicable lessons I've ever seen on airspace!! Well done.
- Veni Amavi
I especially liked your scientific approach of gathering empiric evidence; this is what really convinced me and let me grasp the concepts. Thanks again! More pilot training courses please.

What's Inside
What is "Ground" School?
Becoming a pilot involves both flight training in the cockpit and ground training outside the airplane. Flight training gives you the practical experience you need to become a pilot, while ground training gives you the knowledge you need to apply those skills. In our experience, the more time you spend in ground training the easier you'll find flight training and the less time you'll need to repeat tasks, saving you money!
