A lot of people underestimate the impact your ground school can have on how much you end up spending on your flight training.

This is because the better your ground school prepares and gives you an in-depth understanding of the concepts you need to know, the better prepared you are for your FAA written exam and for your flight training &the faster, more efficiently you can learn once you start flying.

This also means you’re better prepared for the oral portion of your check ride and since you learn more quickly and effectively, you spend less time paying for fuel and airplane rental, which is the largest financial cost when it comes to learning to fly. 

If you’re like me, you need to understand things in an in-depth way in order to for it to make sense and to feel confident and competent . Believe me, I am NOT the overconfident type. Flying an airplane is an amazing experience and a great responsibility as well. I want to KNOW my stuff.

That’s why I teach my private pilot ground school students using professional simulator software in order to achieve an unparalleled level of knowledge and familiarity with the concepts and environments they need to know for their written exam and to learn quickly once they start flying.

What should a great online ground school do for you?

The most important function of an online ground school is to prepare you for your Private Pilot Certificate (It’s not a license, it’s a certificate). It should teach you all the concepts in a way that allows you to process and apply the knowledge more easily once you start flight training. It should make the concepts, language and cockpit environment & procedures familiar so that you progress more efficiently and expeditiously once you are training in the actual airplane. How prepared you arrive at your flight training determines how much money your flight training ends up costing you.

In order to become an FAA-certificated private pilot, a student pilot must meet a few requirements: 

• Applicant must be at least 17 years of age.

• Be able to speak, write and understand the English language.

• Learn the ground school material 

• Receive an endorsement to take the FAA Private Pilot Written Exam

• Take and pass the FAA Written exam. Minimum required score is 70.

• 3rd Class Medical Certificate

• Fly the minimum required hours  

• Receive an endorsement for the FAA Private Pilot Checkride, which is the FAA oral and practical exam. 

• Pass the  FAA Private Pilot Checkride 

 A good online ground school should guide you step by step and  provide you with all you need to accomplish every one of the above objectives. It should teach you all the knowledge required for a private pilot certificate and to make you a confident & competent pilot in command, provide you an endorsement for the FAA Written exam, provide you with adequate tools, memorization and study aids, mentorship, community, live support calls for your specific questions and for delving deeper into required knowledge, FAA test prep and practice tests for you to pass the FAA Written exam, provide you with knowledge that will help you learn and progress more quickly once you start flying the aircraft and prepare you to pass the private pilot checkride.
