Flight School Ground Course:

All flight school students are encouraged to use the Gold Seal online ground school course. These courses are very well put together and come with several practice tests and an endorsement for the written tests. By doing it this way, we can concentrate on the flying portion of our time together, but we still need to do some ground instruction to make sure you are on pace with the flying. We will be using the Gold Seal course syllabus for training.

Cost: $50 per hour of instruction. I charge a block rate, not based on the Hobbs. If we book 2hrs, I charge 2hrs. I do this so that no one feels rushed or pressured by time and money. Flight instruction is billed separately from aircraft rental and that is charged by the Hobbs.
