Hmmmm, looks like they have just created a self study / add more ground school charges course to benefit the flight school. I guess if it saves you enough time with your CFI based on his hourly fee then it might worth it. What do they use to teach with if you train in a Piper aircraft? I would be tempted to find a CFI that teaches the old fashion way since I am more of a hands on / ask questions learner, but I guess the new computer method has it's place as well. If this is the only option for you then I would look into getting the course with a buddy and split the cost.
