What to expect in a lesson
Each of the lessons in Gleim's Online Ground School is divided into several
sections referred to as Instructional Elements. To assist you in your
studies, there are four Instructional Elements in each lesson:
- an optional audiovisual presentation **Available only in Sport Pilot and
Private Pilot Ratings
- a Knowledge Transfer Outline
- a Multiple-Choice Study Quiz
- a Multiple-Choice Test Quiz
After each quiz you will be provided with an opportunity to review the
questions that you missed.
How to complete a lesson
Choose the appropriate lesson from the Lesson Selection screen. The lessons
must be completed in the order shown. Download and view the optional
audiovisual presentation for the lesson.
To complete a lesson you must:
- Study the knowledge transfer outline for the lesson. The outlines are
broken down into sections called "modules" to make studying easier. You can
use the print function on your browser to print the entire outline: from the
IE Menu, click File, and then click Print. Use this printout for quick
reference. When you have finished studying the outlines, you will be ready
to take the multiple-choice quizzes.
- Answer all of the thought-provoking multiple-choice study questions. You
must answer all questions in order to continue. After selecting your answer
choice, you will receive immediate question feedback. Your grade on the
study quiz is based on the first answer you select for each question.
- Review the answers you missed. After completing the study quiz you will
be given a review of the questions you missed on the quiz. If you did not
score a 70% or better, you will need to retake the study quiz.
- Pass the multiple-choice test quiz with a score of 70% or better. You
will be given a quiz based on the material you covered in the study quiz and
outline sections of the lesson. You may move back and forth between
questions and change your answers until you are ready to grade the quiz.
When you have answered each of the multiple-choice questions to your
satisfaction, click the Grade button at the bottom of the screen below the
last question.
- Review the answers you missed. After completing the test quiz you will
be given a review of the questions you missed on the quiz. If you did not
score a 70% or better, you will need to retake the test quiz.
Completing the Stage Tests
After every 4-6 lessons, a stage test will be given. The stage test
will be made up of questions from each of the preceding lessons. You will
be required to pass the stage test with a score of 70% or higher before being
able to move on to the next lesson.
Completing the End of Course Test
After you have completed all lessons and stage tests for your Online Ground
School, you will be administered a cumulative end-of-course test. You will
be required to pass this test with a minimum score of 70%. You will have two
chances to pass the end-of-course test. If you fail more than twice, you will be
locked out of the course and you will be required to send an e-mail to Gleim
Publications explaining the situation. It will then be at Gleim's discretion
whether you may continue the course or not.

not flashy but well organized and focused
by MRC01 from WA State
Review: Gleim ground school includes detailed outlines that eventually filled a 3-4" thick binder when I printed them out. They are offered in HTML and PDF format. This alone was worth the price of the course to me. The info is well organized and focused on the FAA test. The course is broken up into sections. You can leave and return at any time even in the middle of unit tests. Gleim's web servers were always up and responsive whenever I logged in - no problems with downtime. Gleim responded to my occasional questions promptly and accurately.
It doesn't have the fancy videos and glossy photos and artwork that some courses have. I found this a welcome relief - the last thing I want is Barbie & Ken teaching me how to fly.
At the end of the school it provides a certificate that enables you to take the FAA test.
