The First Step: Ground School

Private Pilot Ground School is often the first step to earning your wings.  The purpose of ground school is to help you prepare for the required FAA knowledge test and provide a foundation to become a competent aviator.

You will learn A LOT!

Topics include:  airplane structure and controls, engine and related systems, flight instruments, flight dynamics, flight environment, airports, aeronautical charts, airspace, radio communications and flight information, weather theory, interpreting weather products, federal aviation regulations, calculating aircraft performance, aircraft weight and balance, E6B flight computations, pilotage and dead reckoning navigation, radio navigation, cross-country flight planning, and human factors.

Schedule for 2021

​Six classes are held per year.  Classes are twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays from 6 pm to 9 pm at the Aero Club hangar (located here).
COVID-19 Note: if you have your own folding chair, please bring it. We will not use the classroom, instead we will setup in the hangar with the aircraft where there is more space.
