Ground School
Premier Flight Center, LLC
In order to obtain the Private Pilot Certificate, Instrument Rating or
Commercial Certificate a written exam must be taken and passed with
a 70% grade or better.  Premier Flight Center offers the option of a
classroom type setting for our ground schools, which prepares each
student for the FAA Written Exam.  Our syllabus uses the building
block theory of learning, which incorporate a variety of learning
methods to help each student’s learning dynamic (ie:  Videos,
Lecture, Overheads, Demonstration and Home Study Work). After a
successful completion of our ground school, each student will be
given the “sign-off” (aka: permission slip) to take the FAA’s written
exam.  The materials needed for our ground schools are the
Jeppesen Part 141 Kit which our syllabus is based on.
