While ground school can be accomplished on an individual basis, (or online,) most people prefer to attend a classroom group course.

WHAT TO EXPECT

COMPONENTS OF FLIGHT TRAINING

GROUND SCHOOL

Ground school can be like drinking from a firehose. It's a lot of information covered in a short amount of time, so it is very important to study! In order to pass the FAA knowledge test, candidates must pass with 70% or greater. Taking flying lessons in conjunction with the ground school material is highly encouraged. This demonstrates the practical application of the concepts covered during ground school, while making the whole experience more fun and enjoyable. Flight training milestones include:

First solo flight. (This is the first time a student will fly an aircraft without an instructor present. Many pilots say that their first solo is the highlight of their entire flying career.)
Solo cross country flight
FAA checkride
