Online pilot training provider AV8 Prep has acquired 107 School and its publications. The acquisition closed in October 2024.
John Ellis, co-founder of 107 School, joins AV8 Prep as its Chief of Development, and his role will be to expand the offerings of the online ground school and test prep provider.
AV8 Prep already offers ground training for private pilot, instrument rating, and commercial pilot courses, and others, such as its Private Pilot Diary, and Tower Talk, which is taught by a career air traffic controller.
Also contributing to AV8 Prep's new offerings are expert flight instructors Meg Godlewski and Dr. Larry Diamond, who will author articles for the company on a regular basis.
The 107 School catalog includes "Launching Your Aviation Career," by Meg Godlewski, "Aviate & Medicate," by Dr. Larry Diamond, and "Introduction to Part 107," by John Ellis. New editions of all three books will be released by AV8 Prep. The company is also publishing an expanded 125-page ebook, ”How To Become A Pilot," which details the roadmap for going from “zero to hero.” It explains the complete aviation training process from novice pilot with zero experience to becoming an airline transport pilot.
AV8 Prep intends to launch several new courses, including one focused on the Fundamentals of Instruction, a key portion of ground training for initial flight instructor certification. AV8 Prep will create mobile apps to allow learners to take its courses anywhere they choose. The new apps are scheduled to launch in Q1 2025.
AV8 Prep utilizes a team-teaching approach: The instructors that deliver training for AV8 Prep have more than 50,000 hours of flight experience, and now with the addition of Godlewski and Diamond, that figure grows to more than 60,000 hours.
