In Time For This Flying Season!
An Aviation Ground School is beginning at Frederick Community
College-Adult Education. The primary Goal is to aid in preparing
students for FAA written tests for sport pilot, private,
recreational and ultralight pilot. Curriculum includes Sport Pilot
certification programs. NOTAMs, FAA Flight Service Briefings,
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR) ADIZ and other security issues
are included.
The program will benefit those who to want to prepare for Sport
Pilot written examinations, new comers, ultralight pilots who have
not yet passed the written tests for registration, airplane pilots
in transition to ultralight-type aircraft, and existing pilots who
want a comprehensive refresher.
The 8?week course will begin Wednesday, March 2, 2005, from
6:00pm until 9:00 pm. The course will continue each Wednesday (skip
3/16 & 3/23) evening on the Frederick Community College campus
ending on May 4, 2005. This is a non-credit course and is not an
FAA Wings program. During the last session the practice sport pilot
and/or ultralight pilot written test will be administered for those
who so request. Logbook endorsements for those wanting to take FAA
written tests from authorized testing centers will be provided to
those who are qualified.
Course cost is $185.00 tuition. Books will need to be purchased
by the student prior to the start of class for approximately $88.00
depending on your specific area of interest (Airplane, Trike, or
Canopy configuration).
No minimum age, medical condition, FAA ratings or prior aviation
classes are required. Primary instructor is John Ballantyne a
well-known pioneer of ultralight aviation and author of aviation
training programs.
