King Schools develops aviation training materials, primarily videos and computer-based courses, for pilot preparation. Founded in 1974 by John and Martha King, the company began with ground-school instruction and started producing video courses in a spare room in 1984. Based in San Diego, California, the firm operates an 18,000-square-foot complex with an in-house video production and duplication facility and has delivered more than 2.5 million videos and over 4 million hours of instruction, reaching a substantial portion of instrument students and pilots pursuing training in the United States. The company positions itself as a leading producer of aviation training videos and software, serving a mid-sized workforce and a broad pilot-training market. In 2026, King Schools launched the Complete Private Pilot Course, unveiled at SUN 'n FUN, expanding its offerings to prepare students for exams and flight lessons.
