The #1 Way to Study and Retain Pilot Material
-
Without Flashcards
❌ Overwhelming: "Drinking from a fire hose" of books, courses, and articles.
❌ Passive: Reading books or listening to courses does not force active recall and makes content harder to memorize.
❌ Inefficient: Difficult to isolate areas that need more study.
❌ Daunting: Difficult to know where to jump back in for subsequent studying.
-
With Flashcards
✅ Easy: Flashcards put your study routine on autopilot!
✅ Effective: Active recall moves information from short-term memory into long-term memory.
✅ Efficient: Easily separate the topics you've mastered from areas that need more work.
✅ Reusable: Easy to review for years to come and focus on topics that need more work.
Customer Reviews
Hi,
I just received my flashcard order and WOW. I really like the presentation, the packaging, the nice big cards, the use of color coding to break them into different groups. What I really like is the content of the cards. I think these cards will help aspiring aviators master the knowledge needed to be successful.
As a CFI/CFII/MEI, I will be strongly recommending these cards to my current and future students. It will help them take a few moments each day to review a few subjects over a cup of coffee or tea or a smoothie, at their own pace! You can pause, put the card down, pick it back up an re-read it, read it in a place where having a video or audio isn't appropriate.
Another thing that is nice is that the learner can share their learning experience with a friend, family member, etc. This adds to the human interaction and makes it more inviting for others to participate. Would be great for study groups as well.
Bravo Charlie! Thank you for being such a good ambassador for General Aviation and for taking the time to create these.

These flashcards are awesome. I’ve been using them to prep for my Private Pilot License, and they make studying way easier. Everything’s broken down into simple, straight-to-the-point info, so you’re not stuck reading long explanations. It covers all the important stuff—regs, airspace, weather, you name it.
I like that I can just pick them up whenever I have a few minutes and actually feel like I’m making progress. Way better than staring at a textbook or scrolling through apps. Plus, they’re good quality—sturdy cards that can handle being tossed in my bag.
If you're working on your PPL, these are totally worth it. They've helped me lock in a lot of things I was shaky on. Definitely recommend!
I’ve never been a big book guy and as you probably know, that doesn’t work too well when you're trying to get your PPL. These cards have been a total game changer for me. They're so much easier to study from. Sometimes I’ll sit down and power through a bunch, and other times I’ll just grab one while making a sandwich and get a few cards memorized. Super awesome for the way I learn. Highly recommend!
I am an older student pilot who has found myself in the perpetual spin/wash cycle of self directed ground school. Already, the Private Pilot Flashcards are helping me filter through what I know and now focus better on my weak areas. Now the chaff is blowing away and I’m hitting the ground running once again. I have high expectations of products I purchase and the quality of this card set is phenomenal. These cards will outlast me and get passed on to my kids. You owe it to yourself and your pilot friends to have a set of these on your coffee table for a round of drinks and pilot banter, make it fun! This can be the pilot’s version of the game Trivial Pursuit. Get a set, you won’t be disappointed. Charlie, you knocked it out of the ball park!

Charlie did a great in covering all of the bases. The six categories pretty much cover it all. They are all well thought out - each card has a number and has a color code for each of the six categories. I check with Amazon before I purchased. It is much better than anything out there, and is the best!
I am an instrument rated pilot with 3,500 hours of mostly being in the "system." I was a flying salesman. Flash cards allow you to keep up by using "waiting" times. I take it section by section and with a rubber band around the section . The ones I have completed are in the back of the deck, upside down. Easy and fast! So much to know and so little time! Thank you Charlie - and happy flying!!
Never Stress Over a Flight Review. Ever Again.
These cards not only help you in your student pilot training, but they will be an incredibly helpful tool year after year in your pilot journey.
Typically we forget a lot of the ground school knowledge from our training fairly quickly. When it comes time for a flight review, it's not practical to re-read entire textbooks or retake entire ground school courses.
These flashcards are the perfect way to stay sharp so you never sweat a ground oral exam ever again!
"I've Wanted These for 20 Years"
I've been in aviation for 20 years and have always been frustrated crawling through textbooks, lengthy video courses, and random articles on the internet to learn and review critical aviation regulations, concepts, and terminology.
So, I spent over a year building these comprehensive flashcards to solve my own problem, knowing that other pilots feel the same pain that I do. I also had a talented group of CFIs spend months with me reviewing, editing, and approving every single one of the 351 cards which was a massive effort.
I'm SO happy with the end product, and I promise that these flashcards will save you time, money, and headache. Being a proficient pilot is hard enough, but these make it a LOT easier.

Questions?
I'm a student pilot. Are these right for me?
Absolutely. These cards cover the sections relevant to private pilots from the Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (PHAK), the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). Flashcards are a fantastic way to build fluency in the language of aviation.
I'm an experienced pilot. Are these right for me?
Yes! Since other training (i.e. instrument rating, commercial, etc.) all builds on the concepts from your private pilot training, it is all still relevant. This is content you need to know and retain regardless of how experienced you become. These cards are a fantastic way to stay sharp and never stress over a future flight review again!
What information do the cards cover?
The 350+ cards are built on the knowledge areas relevant to private pilots in the Pilots Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge (PHAK), Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), and the Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM).
Do these cards take the place of online or in-person ground school?
These cards are meant to be a supplement to your ground school course. While ground school textbooks and courses are good for teaching the material, they are not great for reviewing the material and segmenting it into areas you know versus areas that need more work. This is where flashcards come in! With these flashcards you can easily separate the knowledge areas you have mastered from the areas that need additional work. They are easier to use, more convenient, and more effective in reviewing the material than online courses or textbooks.
Do you have a refund policy?
Of course. If you aren't happy with the product, return it within the first 30 days of purchase and we'll give you a full refund, no questions asked.
