Your Aviation Knowledge Foundation

Private pilot ground school is offered three times a year at Sweet Aviation (spring, fall, and winter sessions) and covers a broad range of topics to provide the basic knowledge you need to become a certified pilot. Tackle topics like understanding airspace and navigation charts, weather planning, aerodynamics, flight operations, and more – our experienced flight instructors will help you prepare for your FAA Knowledge Exam, and we guarantee you’ll pass it!

FAQs

A: Our cost is $499. This includes all 12 weeks of instruction and a Gleim Private Pilot Ground School Kit.

Q: Is ground school all I need to receive a pilot’s certificate?
A: No, much like a driver’s license, there are both a ground knowledge portion and a practical portion of flight training.
