Private Pilot Ground School
Study toward your Private Pilot Certification
To earn your Private Certificate, the student needs to pass a written knowledge exam, an oral knowledge exam and a flight exam. We hold ground school sessions of 12-13 weeks / 2-hour classes each week, to assure that students acquire the knowledge to be safe and pass the knowledge components. Ground Schools are throughout the year, typically Saturday mornings 10a – 12p. Our 12-13 week ground school addresses a new subject area each week, giving you time to reinforce this new knowledge in your flight training. Learning to fly is like learning a new language. Each step along the way requires study. The harder you work on this knowledge component the faster you will succeed.
The technical subject areas include:
- Aerodynamics & Stability
- Weight and Balance calculations
- Flight Instruments
- Sectionals and Charts
- Airports
- Airspace Classifications and Use
- Weather Forecasting and reports
- Flight Planning
- Performance Calculations
- Advanced Navigation
- Federal Regulations to learn
