PPL Training : Ground School

The Ground School

You will study in a relaxed classroom environment, where your instructor will cover six specific subjects on a one-to-one basis.

  1. Aviation Law - the Highway Code of flying
  2. Meteorology - an essential part of flight preparation
  3. Navigation - theoretical preparation for cross country flying
  4. Human Performance - an introduction to the physiological aspects of flying, including the dangers of alcohol and medication, flying with colds etc.
  5. Technical overview of the Helicopter - a better awareness of the aircraft
  6. Flight Planning & Performance

Your instructor will manage all aspects of the ground school syllabus and in addition, you will learn about Radio Telephony (R/T) procedures. The list of subjects may at first, appear overwhelming, but your instructor will break it down into a logical format and will be able to coach you to examination standard. There will be a multiple choice examination for each subject.
