GROUND SCHOOL
One of the most underrated aspects of flight training is attending a quality ground school. American Winds has a well-defined and structured ground school with FAA-approved classes, as well as an Open Enrollment Policy for both ground and flight training. We strongly encourage all students, weekend warriors or career-minded students, to attend. Ground school provides a structured learning environment as well as personal interaction with qualified instructors. The sessions will provide reference points relating to every topic you will need for all current and future flight training. Once you have made the decision to pursue flight training, reserve your space in our ground school.
Highlights of our ground school course include:
-
A one-time fee for unlimited attendance of only $495.00, a value of over $1,400.00.
-
Evening classes accommodate your schedule
-
Concurrent sessions running every 2-3 months
-
Taught by experienced Ground/Flight instructors
-
Opportunities to use the Elite AATD and Cirrus II BATD Flight Simulators
-
FAA Approved Private, Instrument, and Commercial ground school
American Winds Flight Academy is the FIRST flight school to offer unlimited sitting for ground school. Don't be fooled by other flight schools that offer this feature until you take your FAA Knowledge Exam. We understand the value of quality and continued education. Enroll in our ground school, obtain your certificate or rating, then come back to ground school for a refresher prior to your flight review. A flight review is a FAA requirement of a pilot to take a minimum of one hour flight and one ground every two years. The sessions run concurrently Mondays and Wednesdays evenings, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM for 9 weeks.
