If you are a student pilot who would like to learn the essentials of basic cross-country flight planning, then this is the course for you.
Welcome to Rod Machado's interactive program titled, Basic Cross Country Flight Planning for Student Pilots. In it, I’ll cover everything you’ll need to learn to plot a course on an aviation sectional chart, correct for magnetic variation, compass deviation and wind to find the compass heading needed to travel from one airport to another. I’ll also cover how to use your mechanical flight computer for speed, time, distance and fuel calculation. This course is intended to teach you the basic skills of pilotage and dead-reckoning navigation as well as the knowledge necessary to pass the private pilot knowledge exam in these areas. These are the navigational skills that every pilot needs to know. While I won’t cover electronic navigation in this course—that’s will be in another course—I will cover what you need to know to complete the flight log for your first dual or solo cross country flight.
This course should also be used by flight instructors to help them prepare their students for dual and solo cross-country flights.
Please note, all eLearning courses come with accompanying text in "Notes" section of player. And each course section comes with quizzes to test your knowledge.

Great product! Well worth the $$$
As a CFI I go through the whole program with my students. The way rod explains the various topics, along with the great visual displays makes it easier for the students to understand. I would recommend this to any private pilot, or CFI!
A Must Have For Private Pilot Students!!!
I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend this course. It was a "God Send! In preparation for my 1st cross country solo, I began planning my route and quickly realized that I was not having difficulty understanding cross country planning. I reviewed lessons from two different courses, Gleim and King Schools, but walked away feeling like I learned absolutely nothing. Rod has a God given gift of being able to explain complex concepts in a way that helps students understand and retain the information. Lastly, his customer service is OUTSTANDING! He personally assisted me with an issue I had trying to sign into the course because I misspelled my email address. You will not regret your purchase!!!
Wish I'd found Rod's Courses earlier
I purchased the xc flight planning course, and I like it so much that I would have decided to get the whole ground school curriculum even though I've already completed King Schools. I sure wish I had have found you earlier!
No more trepidation
My wife is is laughing out loud watching Rod's XC planning video. Her previous trepidation over this subject has melted away like ice cream on the pavement. Thanks!
It's a really interesting and fun way to learn.
