I’m working through all my King’s School videos and I have a couple questions about the actual written exam. It is my understanding that the test will be on the computer. The King’s instructors always have charts and diagrams that they blow up on the screen. They mark and draw on these charts and diagrams and measure with them. Will we have paper copies of these charts and diagrams that we can draw on or we are supposed to hold stuff up to the computer screen during the test? And if it’s purely computer-based, how can we draw lines and mark parts of these diagrams?
Will a flight computer be provided to us? What about a super basic calculator?
You should be provided with a paper based manual for the exam that will have charts, tables, etc in it.
You will need to bring your own flight computer, which you should purchase for your own use anyways. Do not get an app for your phone as you will not be allowed to use that in the exam.
The ATP Training bundle does come with a manual e6b and a plotter…

Awesome, thanks man. When you were studying for private pilot, how did you do the practice questions that required measurement? Were you holding the plotter up to the computer screen? What about drawing lines?
I took my tests while enrolled in the program. So, if I had any questions, my CFI was there to teach me. If you’re studying prior to your start date, just memorize the answers for now. Make a list of questions as you go. Then, ask your questions after you’re enrolled.
Are the kings schools questions verbatim from the actual test as well? For some reason I thought that was just Sheppard.
I was gonna use sportys study buddy as well. Are those practice questions literally the exact same as the actual test and I just need to memorize the correct answer?
My understanding is that King, Sheppard Air, and Sporty’s all use verbatim test questions from the FAA database. So yes, just memorize the correct answers.
Sorry for bringing back an old topic, but I’ve been using a pencil to draw the line on my e6-b and it just doesn’t show up very well. Any tips on what to use to draw the lines for wind calculations? I’ve tried using a wax based and a fine tip dry erase, but both produce too thick of a line.
