GROUND SCHOOLS

Many of our students are enrolled in our computer based Cessna or Jeppesen training programs. These ‘work at your own pace’ programs allow you to prepare for your flight lessons when the time is favorable for you. For those of you who would like a more structured classroom training program, we now offer a 24 hour ground school program for the Private and an 18 hour program for the Instrument Rating. These classes will be offered twice a week on Wednesday and Friday evenings.  Classes are given by one of our FAA certified flight instructors at our ISP location.
