No One to Help You

I almost went with another ground school and I am so glad I didn’t. Vectors made it so much easier to study, and I am noticeably more prepared than my classmates.

"When I was training, I was frustrated because the training was boring, outdated, and had no sources. I bought two private pilot video based courses, and fell asleep every time I tried to study. I wasted my money on courses I never even finished!
I want to help future pilots with a simple and quick course that is entertaining, up to date, and easy to understand so that you don't waste your money like I did."

What makes Vectors better?
The course is completely text/image based. This is so that we don't have to listen to any boring videos, which makes studying hard especially for visual learners. This also allows us to study anywhere, anytime. We are also able to quickly refresh our memory on a subject, or find information without having to watch a whole video over. This also means we can study at our own pace, and pick up where we left off easily.
All of the sources are cited by FAA documents, and links included to the exact page, for all of the information included in the course. This means that we can easily bookmark the page and use it during our Private Pilot Practical test. This also ensures the information is accurate.
The text is formatted to ensure that the important information pops, and the isn't confused with the less important information. This allows us to prioritize the topics that will make us safe and successful pilots.
The information is constantly updated. As regulations change, our team immediately updates the information to ensure we aren't learning anything wrong.
The course is priced competitively. We offer one of the most inexpensive courses on the market because we don't think aspiring pilots should have to 'break the bank' to pursue their dreams!
We are so confident in our course, we provide a money back guarantee! If you are not satisfied with the course, we will give you your money back. Our goal is to help you become a safe and successful pilot, if you are not satisfied with our course, you should not have to pay.
Personalized help from our advanced instructors to answer any questions you may have! Our 1-on-1 chatroom is available 24/7, and anonymous so that you don't have to worry about asking simple questions!
