Starting Ground School

Today is the day that I decided to start my Ground School. I went into Channel Islands Aviation to start my Flight Training and Sarah the Flight School Manager let me know I have to purchase ground school to go along with the flight training.

Ground School consists of a book or online lessons that teach you the specifics about how planes fly, how the engine works, how to perform in an emergency, etc. Ground school is the classroom training that you will be studying while preparing your flight lessons. After I purchased the Ground School I immediately drove home to open the box and get started.

I am currently enrolled in the Professional Pilot Program which comes with 2 Polo Shirts, a log in code for the webpage, a nifty compass for charts, Cessna 172 manuals, and an awesome leather binder. After setting up my online account with Cessnaflighttraining.com I started the ground school. 

The training is split into 2 Stages with 5 Lessons each and 1 Final Practical Test stage.  Each lesson takes from 2-4 hours depending how fast you learn. 

After I take the practice ground school tests for each section I will go over it with my instructor and put what I learn to the test. I am excited and ready to start flying and cannot wait to get into the air!

Any Questions? Feel free to message me and Fly Safe!
