Our popular Private Pilot Ground School will begin July 1st.  Classes will cover all aspects of
flying from basic aerodynamics to radio navigation and cross country flight planning.  It will also
assist you in preparing for the FAA written exam.  The course will last eleven weeks for an
approximate 66 hours of instruction.

 We have been operating these classes for over 10 years and have had excellent results. Our ground instructors bring thousands of hours of flight and ground training experience to the class and are excited about teaching you the fundamentals of safe flying.  Students are strongly encouraged to read and prepare prior to each class to enable the instructor to utilize the class time as efficiently as possible.

New features in the class will include:
