These new courses join 18 other free courses at KingSchools.com, and almost 200 videos on YouTube.
Drone Part 107 Regulations includes eight videos presented by John and Martha King.
“It’s critically important that drone pilots, just like all pilots, know what is legal and what is not and how to fly safely,” said Martha King. “A savvy pilot is a safe pilot. And a savvy pilot, of any aircraft, is always learning.”
Additional course information and free registration is available at KingSchools.com/Drone-Regulations.
The second new free course, Private Pilot Ground Reference Maneuvers, is taken from the King’s Private Pilot Maneuvers course, designed to prepare a student pilot for their flight lessons by showing how to nail Turns Around a Point, Rectangular Patterns, and S-Turns Across a Road to FAA checkride standards.
“Ground reference maneuvers can be a source of a frustration for student pilots,” said Barry Knuttila, the course’s video instructor. “We show tips and tricks you can use to deal with wind to fly good patterns over the ground. This skill is best first understood on the ground. Watching these video will save time and frustration in the air, while impressing your flight instructor with what you know.”

King Schools has also posted a new YouTube playlist, “How To Become a Pilot.” The videos are designed to clear up confusion and give people who are considering learning to fly a path to success, according to company officials.
“The videos break down the sometimes-complicated process into 12 short, easily understandable and digestible parts,” King Schools officials explained. “The first installment explains what a medical is, why it’s important, and how to get one. Part two outlines where one can learn to fly, while part three is about what you need to do to find an instructor that suits your learning style.”
The series is narrated by Samuel Golden, King Schools’ digital marketing manager, who also holds a commercial pilot certificate.
