What is online ground school?

Ground & School

Before you go to the flight school in US, it's important to learn aeronautical theory beforehand. We call it ground school because you learn this on the ground before the flight.

  • 01

    Instructor-led online class

    Students who are just starting their flight training often find it difficult to study aviation knowledge on their own. What they need most is a designated instructor who can help them with their overall aviation knowledge. Through instructor-led online classes, students can complete their flight training without major difficulties by simply following the curriculum set by the instructor.

  • 02

    Prepare written test

    You can prepare PPL written test through our online-ground school. Our CFI will issue endorsement for you to take a written exam.

  • 03

    Oral test prep

    You'll have a test with DPE(designated pilot examiner) in US at every training phase. We can't emphasize enough that you need to prepare for your first Private Pilot Oral exam. We'll help you for this at the end of lecture.
