Frequently Asked Questions About the Ground Instruction

Everything you need to know about starting your flight training and reaching your aviation goals in Fort Worth, Texas.

Yes, we encourage students to use approved online ground schools to pass their FAA written exams! However, one-on-one ground instruction bridges the gap between digital theory and real-world application. It is crucial for preparing for your checkride oral exam and briefing specific flights.
It varies by student and by rating. A Private Pilot student may need less direct ground instruction if they study hard at home, while an Instrument Rating student will require significant ground time to thoroughly understand approach plates, IFR weather, and complex routing.
Brief pre-flight and post-flight briefings are a standard part of every lesson. Dedicated, hour-long ground instruction sessions are scheduled strategically when introducing complex new topics or prepping for a checkride.
