Ground School
PathFinder Aviation offers in-house Ground School courses delivered by our knowledgeable flight instructors. The benefit of this for our students is the ground school theory is delivered by someone that also does your practical instruction. This allows us to put our theory into practice!
The PathFinder Ground School operates throughout the year running a number of ground theory courses. These courses are specifically tailored to those completing their training part time by being held during evenings or weekends. Courses are open to both PathFinder students and external students. Register your place by the Friday prior to the course commencing (see commencement dates below).
Our ground school covers all the knowledge you will need up to a Private Pilot Licence:
- Pre-Solo (Both RA-Aus and CASA)
- Recreational Pilot Licence (for the RA-Aus Pilot Certificate and the CASA Recreational Pilot Licence exam)
- Private Pilot Licence
- Navigation Preparation and Planning
- Radio Operators Licence
Benefits of Ground School
