- What's ground school?
-
Flight training is divided into two parts, ground school and flight training. Ground school teaches you the principles, procedures, and regulations you will put into practice in an airplane -- how a wing generates lift, how to navigate from one airport to another, and in kind of weather you can fly. Before you can earn a pilot certificate, you must pass a computerized FAA knowledge test (with a score of at least 70 percent) on this information. You have several ground school options. Ground sschool is offered here at Harford Air every spring and fall. For those of you that prefer you can take a home-study course, which is composed of videotapes and computerized test preparation software. Regardless of the option you chose, you'll need an instructor's endorsement to take the knowledge test.
