The Rocky Mountain USAF Flight Training Center’s (aka, Aero Club) next Private Pilot Ground School starts Wednesday, October 2, 2019.

Private Pilot Ground School is an eight to nine week course. Cost for the Ground School is $650.

While the course is a Jeppesen online course, you will meet with the instructor once about every other week from 6-8 p.m. to go over course materials and have a chance to ask questions. Completion of this course prepares you to take the FAA Written Exam with the endorsement from the instructor and satisfies the FAA minimum requirement for the Ground School portion.

After you pass your FAA Written Exam, you will have two years to complete the flying portion and pass the Checkride with an FAA DPE for your Private Pilot License requirements.

If you have any questions or need more informa-tion, visit the Aero Club in Hangar 133 here on Peterson AFB or call us at 719-556-4310.
