Private Pilot Weekend Ground School

Join us in a comfortable surrounding with fellow aviators and study for your FAA knowledge test. A very experienced flight instructor will present the material so you can pass your test the first time, and with a high score.
We recognize that for some students, studying on their own is not sufficient. We support you by offering a weekend ground school (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) AND a twice weekly (Tuesday and Thursday) ground school session to fill in this gap.
Classroom hours: The weekend ground school runs Friday evening from 6pm to 9pm and Saturday/Sunday from 9am to 6pm. Weekday ground school classes usually start at 7:00 pm.


Additional Course (Weekend Ground School and Weekday Ground School) Items:
We strongly recommend the self study CD course as a low cost but very effective study aid. If you are our flight student you already have this as part of your book package.
Course book (currently $19.95) not included, if you own our book package you already have this. The charge for the actual computer test is not included (currently apx. $150)
Call us if you have questions (818) 769 1503 or to setup your ground school program with us.
