Aviation Ground School: Private Pilot

This course helps prepare students for the FAA Private Pilot Written Exam and comprises aerodynamics, weather, navigation, instruments, preflight planning, regulations, radio communications, and procedures necessary to become a safe private pilot. There are no FAA requirements for ground school training hours.
