About Gold Seal

Gold Seal was founded in 2003 by Russ Still and published the internet's first online ground school in 2006. Since then, it has remained the national leader in Knowledge Transfer for pilots. Throughout all the years, we have remained steadfast in our belief that ground training is just as important as flight training. Regardless of the goal, every pilot will be more successful in less time by learning the concepts and requirements before slipping into the pilot's seat. Ground training isn't an obstacle and should never be treated as an afterthought.

Gold Seal's mission is to make aviation education enjoyable and accessible while fostering a community of safe, confident pilots through our interactive online training.

Most ground school programs deliver information. It then becomes the student's job to learn it, after the fact. This is akin to attending a lecture and taking notes, then returning home to study it. Gold Seal is different. Our lesson modules are designed so that Knowledge Transfer occurs DURING the presentation. It makes the lessons more interesting and vastly more effective. We do this using the Science of Learning, and no one else does it. No one.

Gold Seal's offices and broadcast studio are located in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia.
