Whats ground school?
Flight training is divided into two parts, ground school and flight training. Ground school teaches you the principles, procedures, and regulations you will put into practice in an airplane — how a wing generates lift, how to navigate from one airport to another, and in kind of weather you can fly. Before you can earn a pilot certificate, you must pass a computerized FAA knowledge test (with a score of at least 70 percent) on this information. You have several ground school options. You can attend a scheduled classroom course that may be held at a flight school, independent ground school, high school, or community college. There are also intense, weekend-long ground schools. Or you can take a home-study course, which is composed of videotapes and may include computerized test preparation software. Regardless of the option you chose, you’ll need an instructor’s endorsement to take the knowledge test.

You can attend a scheduled classroom course held at the Lincoln Airport from a MPP Instructor or you can take a home-study course, which is composed of videotapes and may include computerized test preparation software. Most MPP students find a combination of home-study course and a few ground lessons from a MPP CFI works most efficiently. Regardless of the option you chose, you’ll need an instructor’s endorsement to take the knowledge test.
