Ground Training

Most pilots say ground school is the most YYYchallenging part of training. You'll study rules, flight planning and navigation, aerodynamics, air traffic control, and weather theory and forecasting – all required knowledge to be a safe, competent pilot.

Yes, you'll be tested on this during your aviation knowledge exam. Yes, there is some math, but you'll use a calculator and flight computer. Yes, you'll study basic physics and meteorology, but you'll easily master it.

That's because you've got help. Instead of watching test-prep videos, studying test books, or going to class twice every week, you can use Cessna's Computer-Based Instruction (CBI) program – an interactive CD-ROM ground school that includes all the material for the knowledge exam (and then some).

When you are ready to take the FAA knowledge exam, you can take your test at our facility. We are a CATS Computer Assisted Testing Service facility.
