Ground school is an essential part of any flight training program. There are several aeronautical knowledge areas that Private Pilot applicants must thoroughly understand in order to successfully complete the FAA Written and Practical tests, and operate as safe pilot. An in-person ground school is a great way to advance your learning and gain a practical understanding of these topics. Our team of expert instructors will guide you through every step in a friendly, relaxed environment. The group setting provides a great opportunity for peer discussion and affords a cost that is less than half of the regular on-one-on instruction rate.
Registration is required. Please call us or submit your interest through the form below and a Foothill Flight Center representative will follow-up with you.
