One of the elements that make up a trained licensed pilot is Ground School. This is the academic portion of aviation. The idea here is to find out why an airplane flies; how the weather and temperature affects aircraft performance. The curriculum   covers the necessary subjects outlined in Transport Canada’s Study and Reference Guide (TP 12880E).

Classes will be from 6:30 -9:30 pm on the days notes. Note: There will be 17 formal classes that will amount to approximately 51 hours of instruction.
