I believe the BeAPilot program shares contact info with industry partners. If you have a medical--especially a 3rd class/student cert, folks may be using that publicly available info to gets qualified leads.
When you say King Aviation, you talking about King Schools (http://www.kingschools.com/) , the empire John and Martha King built? They're prolly trying to sell you something--like a video course.

If you want your address information removed from the online database (the way I'd guess most get their info?) all you need to do is create an account and contact the folks in charge.
They'll respond fairly quickly (less than a day for me) saying they put in a code that will hide my address information.

Kudos to both of you. It's a dying avocation.
Either of you members of AOPA? Their Flight Training (https://flighttraining.aopa.org/) feature isn't a bad resource for students. They also are pairing up mentors with students to try and improve the completion rate for those starting training.
Rather than doing it piecemeal, I wish I'd just bought a block of time and gotten it done in one fell swoop rather than taking years to complete.

I did join AOPA. One thing for me is I work at a Job that allows me to study alot. I work nights , and I'm the supervisor. 3-11:30 p.m.. So I have time to do quite a bit of studying.
The flight time is more of a hassle getting than the study time. Life tends to get in the way quite a bit. But I get to do a bit of flying. GOt a few more hours til I can solo. I just love flyiing tho. Very cool and tons of fun.
Knowing my instructor for 21 years also helps.

i didnt get to solo, they pullin my chain. because i havent been in a few weeks we just did a lot of touch an goes.
also i did join the aopa, they gave me a card, i tell people its a pilots license........an they believe me lol
-
Bag? Where do you fly out of if I may ask? Maybe I can take a flight there sometime.
-
Bag they are gonna keep pullin yer chain right up till the point when u actually do solo...i can see it now...two touch and go's, and the instructor says pull over the blablabla ramp i gotta check something....hops out and planes yours! go take her around the pattern for 3 touch n gos and for Christ sake dont kill yourself!
or u can just always look for the hand held radio he brings with him in this particular flight incase he never brings them otherwise....
goodluck bud...just remember...pull back on the stick a wudge a mah call it and houses get smaller....push the sticky thing forward and the houses get big!
and if u fly out of kbdr you can always use the aileron trick...=)
turn the yolk left after departing runway 29 and the houses in the immediate vacinity get chitty....turn right and they r slightly nicer =) lmao....i just made that one up! damn im witty
-
Hey Bag...
Same thing happens to me. The FAA sends you a letter after your flight physical stating that unless you ask otherwise, they will put you on a public list of aviators.
