Ahart Aviation Services - Serving the Livermore Valley


Instrument Ground School

Beginning Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Syllabus (coming soon)

Our popular Instrument Rating ground school will begin on May 3rd and will last for 10 weeks.  This class will cover all aspects of instrument flying from instrument attitude flying to handling ATC clearances and approaches.  We have been operating these classes for many years and have had excellent results.  This class will not only cover what you need to know to fly safetly, but will also help you in preparing for the FAA written examination.

Bill Komanetsky: Owner/Operator/Chief-Pilot will be teaching the class, which means it will happen no matter how many students are signed up (normally a minimum of six students need to be signed up).  Bill brings decades of teaching experience (flight/ground/university) to Ahart's curriculum, plus a real passion for flying!  You will learn everything there is to know about IFR flight and also, have a great time.  The course will be held on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 PM until 9:30 PM.

Remember, if you have taken the IFR course with Ahart before (we hope you kept your receipt), you can sit in on the class at no extra cost to you!

 

The textbook and materials required for the course are:

  1. Jeppesen Instrument/Commercial Manual
  1. Instrument Rating Written Test Guide
  1. FAR/AIM 2010

All of these materials are available through Ahart.

The classes will be held at Ahart and space is limited so sign up at the front desk as soon as possible!

Jeppesen Videos are available for use (free of charge) on the premises for all students enrolled in the ground school course. You may also attend future Instrument Ground Schools at no additional cost.

The FAA written test is available in our testing center for $100 at the end of the course. For further information please contact our dispatch staff.
