Come and learn about General Aviation (GA), aerodynamics, regulations, weather, safety, of course acronyms (it’s all about the acronyms in aviation), and more! There is no age limit or minimum to attend the class.
There is no requirement to complete flight training while studying for the written test, but we do recommend taking some flight lessons along the way because it will help emphasize many of the topics we cover during the course, plus flying is fun!
NOTE:
A student cannot fly solo until their 16th birthday, and cannot earn their Private Pilot certificate until their 17th birthday. If a 15-year-old student is interested in earning their Pilot certificate in the future, they can take this FREE class and still complete their flight training and checkride prior to the test expiring.

If you have ever dreamed about learning to fly this is a great opportunity to begin the process!
You can take our Private Pilot Ground School and receive all the knowledge and skills required to successfully pass the Private Pilot written test! This is the biggest challenge to earning a Pilot Certificate.
The Private Pilot written test consists of 60 multiple choice questions and a passing score of 70% or greater is needed to successfully complete the test. You have 2½ hours to complete the 60 questions. Once you have completed the test with a score greater than 70% you have 24-calendar months to complete the next phase of earning a Pilot certificate, the practical test (commonly called the Checkride).
Throughout the Course you will see REAL FAA test questions! We will prepare you for the written test just as we do for all our students!
There will be ungraded quizzes at the beginning of each class (not including the first class) to get familiar with the FAA test questions relevant to the material we covered during the prior class. These quizzes are for your own benefit and do not change your ability to take the class.
At the conclusion of the course, we will administer a Final Exam consisting of 60 multiple-choice questions exactly like the real FAA written test, and you’ll have 2½ hours to complete the test. Successfully completing the test with a grade of 85% or great (subject to CFIs discretion) will result in you walking out of the course with a written endorsement. This endorsement will authorize you to take the Private Pilot Written Knowledge Exam.
Once you have the endorsement, we highly suggest taking the actual exam within a few days! Don’t let the knowledge slip from your mind/memory!
Also, you DO NOT need to have the FAA written exam completed to begin flight training or to reach the Solo stage of flight training!
