GROUND SCHOOL
It is one thing to learn to fly an airplane and something entirely different to understand all of the elements associated with the theory of flight, aircraft systems, weather, navigation, federal regulations, airspace and much more. Ground school can be self paced, one-on-one with an instructor, or in a classroom environment. The best choice for you is based on your schedule, finances and learning style.
 Monterey Peninsula College offers Aviation Ground School which is taught in the classroom at Monterey Bay Aviation. Visit the MPC web site to register online www.mpc.edu.
