Easily Read Instrument Approach Plates 

She’s like the bob ross of approach charts.

"Dropping down from the clouds, just hoping to find a piece of assphalt." 🤣🤣

In 1991 and 1992, I used King Videos for my PPL and IR, scored 100% on both written exams. The Kings are my adoptive flying parents...

I honestly love how Martha and John explain in detail any information they provide, I can’t ask for a better explanation when it comes to aviation training.

I would like to thank you and your husband for what you do. I took one of your courses Private Pilot back in 1988 and passed and got my private license thanks to that course. This was back when the courses were made on VHS tapes... that was a long time ago.

That slow, methodical approach of teaching has worked for me time and time again. King is the only way to go for me. Also met them once at KHPN, when I parked next to them on the ramp. Said hello to John and he couldn't have been nicer.

King schools reminds me of Flight simulator 2000

I am not an aviator but this video just appeared on my mainpage and brought me back to my Flight Simulator 2004 days. The very first sim I've ever used... I remember how I had watched your training videos with big enthusiasm. I couldn't make it happen in real life but those were some of the most exciting days of my flight simulation life. Thank you guys for those memories and greetings from Turkey.

I love soooooo much this channel ♥️ am not a pilot right now, but this channel makes me feel am a pilot..... And my dream is to become a pilot ♥️🙏

I remember buying my first King Video in 1999 before I started taking flying lessons. Good to see the Kings still at it, the brand is strong.

Since enjoying the training series during the good ol' VHS days, the new HD 16:9 format looks and sounds great!

Congratulations on your excellent communication skills! I'm just an aviation enthusiast and loved to watch your explanation. Hugs from Rio de Janeiro - Brazil!

I am not a pilot but I do a bit of casual flight simming. Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thank you.

Verry well explaned ! Would have love to see this video when i was learning to fly.

Yep, when your active n current, all these things stay with you; glad to see the're still sharp at their age!!

Thanks Ms. Your english is so easy to understand!

*thanks for the quick overview reminder!* 👍

My flying career started in 1990 watching John and Martha . I even met them at their office and studio in person . 30 + years I still remember their VHS tapes Which I got to see their hundreds of duplicator machines making the videos via a personal tour by John. He treated me like family ". They are the King and Queen of General Aviation ,

For years king schools provided me knowledge . The best as always

Martha and John, You guys are simply the best. I’ve been watching your videos for over twenty years! Thanks for getting me through my ratings! All my best, Doug R

John and Martha have been there for me since my PPL... Cleared for Takeoff thru to Cleared for Hire. I truly appreciated the detailed content 👏👏

I still have my IFR course from 1991 on VHS.

This was a great video, very helpful!

King Schools, what else can you say? They were the original media based flight instruction team, that set a gold standard for flight instruction. Like to meet them someday and say hi!

i love your english , it is so easy

I love your Videos..Thanks..

King Schools, simply the best!!!

excellent content as always. Keep it up! I'm working on my CFII right now, getting some notes on how you teach these. Thanks!

Excellent! Thank you :)

Are you guys going to do the intro video for FS2020?

Another great video, thank you for taking the time to compile and publish.

How do you know if the IFR charts you download from the web are up to date (without going into payware) ? because i've seen some frequencies that have changed over time

This lady and her husband made learning so much fun...I really enjoyed the lessons. They got me through some really difficult times in the pursuit of my certificates...thanks a whole bunch Martha and Bob, I miss and love you both.

So awesome King Schools is still at it! I learned so much from them as a kid in FS2000... how far we've come! :)

I took King Schools instrument course in 2001. I passed with 98% the FAA test. It really helped me pass my check ride first try too. John and Martha are simply the best.

Thank you Martha.

This was super helpful! Thank you!

Beautiful

0:12 gave me some real childish giggles

I love your videos Mr. & Mrs. King! I'm currently studying to become a pilot and I have your ground school courses for the PAR and IRA tests.

Nice summary, and well presented! - Martin

More videos like this one please!

Thank you so much from Spain. As an Aeronautic Engineering Master's Degree student, this is extremely helpful for visualization :)

Back in the mid-90's I was working on my PPL and came across your teaching materials. Suffice it to say they were the best in helping me pass my written and oral exams. There is one example that I remember today that made me laught the first time I heard it, but I never forgot the lesson. It was about why there are two height values shown on a chart. I think it was your husband who said "The first is the height on the altimeter when you hit the tower, the second is how far you will fall" (or words to that effect). I never looked at a tower the same ever since :-) Thank you for your contribution to aviation. Watching this short piece makes me consider working on passing the IFR written test. Not that I could fly IFR now, but just because I'd like to see if I could.

I may never afford to fly a real airplane, but it's good to dream and learn about it, I have followed King Schools since I was a child in the 90s. I think of them as my Aviation Parents! At least I can apply what I learn from them in MSFS2020!

So clear. I'm just a hobbyist

Like the way you folks present the material... You always help me remember what i forget...

Hi ! What's the maximum age to get a private or comercial pilot ? I'm 67 years old ! Kind regards !

Another valuable piece of advice from our favorite aviation school instructors, thank you for sharing this with us all 👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Do we know when the FAA is officially making all Z approaches the lowest minimums?

I'm really glad to find this channel. I still have my King IFR course on VHS from 1996. They helped me a ton with training and passing the exam, as well as understanding everything in IFR flying. It's probably about time I upgraded to a current version!

Whoa, whoa, whoa... Im totally new to flightsim and Im looking for some really basic info regarding navigation using both GPS and VOR (and other ways to navigate...stars?), but also how to read charts like ILS or LOC, knwoing the differens between them etc. Just wanted to learn the basic so I know what Im doing in a simulator. Any suggstions of links to visit?

That was perfect. I've watched other videos like this and were not as clear. King rules!

What about does airport that don’t have approach plates?

Great video ma'am - but I have a question - in my local aerodrome charts, it says ILS Z RWY 28 (VAPO) AND for missed Approach Turn RIGHT on heading 290° and climb to 4500’. Then climbing turn RIGHT to join VOR hold at 6000’ or as directed by ATC. It does not mention any climb rate or VSpeed. Even for the other charts- VOR Y RWY 28 It says :Turn RIGHT on heading 290° and climb to 4500’. Then climbing turn RIGHT to join VOR hold at 6000’ or as directed by ATC. Similarly for the CAT II ILS Approach (Not alphabet) with same missed approach instructions. About 2-2.5NM straight out of RWY 28, there are terrainous mountainous regions elev- 1,230 ft Is there any standard climb rate?

yay it’s Martha!

Is John King out of the game now? ( due to age/ physical condition) i know he's gotten quite old... appears Martha still has her ratings and is active.

The note remain within 10 nm, does this mean from the FAF, the runway approach end or the airport center? I always thought the FAF but I’ve heard conflicting answers.

Put your cursor on the 0:14 mark and repeat just on the 0:14 mark. Not exactly what I'm looking for when descending through the clouds, but that's exactly what I was looking for at the night club!

I want to be a pilot but I feel like there’s a lot that you have to memorize!! 🥵

Just found this! I had all the VHS tapes through private, inst, comm

Merry Christmas Martha 🌲🎅😁 And thankyou for building up our knowledge through out all those years. GOD bless you🌷

"...hoping you're gonna find a 'piece of assphalt)" haha was that deliberate? classic.

She uses the old school term let down and I love it.

You have a very calming voice. Hats off to you aNd your team for sharing your knowledge. Stay safe Madam!

Thank You John and Martha King. I met you once in Indianapolis Indiana. I felt I was meeting royalty without the curtsy and bowing. I am a cfii now and used your training videos exclusively because you keep it fun. I appreciate you so much and I suggest your tools to my students now. Love you guys to pieces. all the best neal punta gorda florida ...not missing the cold

"Seeing a piece of ass..phalt" is my favorite sentence from now on

Do they have vors anymore ..they took ours apart years ago .

I wish the missed approach required climb performance was just given as Ft/Min with a Groundspeed limitation. Much easier to calculate and monitor than calculating your ROC required at a particular groundspeed. That or the other "cross waypoint/ DME distance at or above xxxx ft"

thank you for sharing -- please share more

King Schools are the Gold Standard. For instruction. The downside is, too many people who shouldn't be pilots can understand the information - that's not right.

Wow best lecture!!!!!

“One of the biggest challenges of flying is letting down from the clouds and hoping you can find a piece of ass......”

Thank you so much for these informative videos, I love watching them. Keep up the great work and hope to see more videos soon.

Nobody uses Jepessen in US I guess..

She said piece of assfault!!!!

Goddess of explanation 👏👏👏

very good

Thx

Epic

"You're going to find a piece of as...phalt". That was no accident.

Excellent 👍

Wow !!

Damn, aviation really is complicated.

Too much information. I couldn't focus. But thanks for the video.

King Schools: Androgyny is who we are!

Ahhh I remember In 2006 taking notes and flying Cessna in fs2004. Why my eyes watering ?
