Frequently Asked Questions

What is ground school in flight training?
Ground school is the classroom portion of your pilot training where you learn the aviation theory, science, and regulations required to fly safely. While your flight lessons teach you the physical skills of flying an aircraft, ground school prepares you for the FAA written exam and teaches you critical decision-making, weather interpretation, and navigation.
Do I have to attend ground school in person?
No, you do not need to sit in a traditional classroom for ground school. At 609 Aviation, we utilize a modern, online-first approach that allows you to complete your ground school training at your own pace from the comfort of your home, making it easy to fit around a busy work or school schedule.
