iPad App Lets Pilots Download And Complete Lessons Offline

Cessna Pilot Centers’ use of the latest iPad technology gives pilots convenient access to their online courses even when they are offline. The CPC Companion app, a free download from the Apple App Store, allows pilots to download lessons from their courses to their iPad. 

The next time the pilot is online their course progress is automatically synchronized with the King Schools servers, allowing them to move seamlessly between their iPad and computer while always seeing their latest progress.

“The great thing about our iPad Companion app is that customers are not locked into choosing between using their iPad or a computer,” commented King Schools CEO Barry Knuttila “The ability to work offline on an iPad and then sync their progress with the KING servers gives learning pilots the option to continue their course from anywhere, connected or not,” he noted.

Pilots learning at Cessna Pilot Centers get lifetime free upgrades to their courses. “Every time a pilot logs on they see the latest changes,” said Knuttila. “For instance, the courses have already been upgraded to reflect the new Airman Certification Standards (ACS). Plus we’ve expanded the digital library. There are now more than 100 reference manuals, Cessna aircraft PIMs, and books.”

The Cessna Pilot Center Sport/Private Pilot training kits now come in a custom-made flight bag from MyGoFlight. The new pilot bag has room for an iPad, headset, flashlight, and other materials, and   includes a 20% discount card for any MyGoFlight product.

Each course kit also includes a free one-year subscription for either the Garmin Pilot VFR Premium US Edition ($124.99 retail) or the IFR Premium US Edition—($149.99 retail).
