Our Ground school is the educational portion of your aeronautical pilot training. The Requirements required to pass the Private Pilot Knowledge test (written exam) is 70% or better to pass. At Oklahoma Aeronautics Academy, we have an individual passing rate which is above the national average.
Most flight training facilities provide aircraft and flight instructors to help you obtain your private pilot certificate, but that is only a part of becoming a safe and competent pilot. We do not tell our students to go online and listen to a pre-programed ground school that is designed to provide the very minimum knowledge for passing the FAA knowledge test.
We provide a one-on-one personal classroom environment and one of our flight instructors who will help you learn all of the aeronautical topics required by the FAA, plus there are much more subjects taught by instructors with thousands of flight hours that will guide you being a safe, competent, and well-educated pilot.
During your ground school training, you will receive complimentary access to the academy's flight simulator with an instructor. This opportunity offers significant savings while allowing you to enhance your skills in preparation for upcoming flights.
