Group ground school you can attend even if you're not a student here!
Why Aces High Ground School Is Different
Most ground schools are built to help you pass the FAA written test — but we built ours to help you fly.
At Aces High, you’ll learn the why, not just the what — with real-world context, hands-on examples, and practical knowledge that makes your time in the plane smoother, safer, and more confident.
How It Works
Aces High Ground School is an 11-week rotating course covering every major topic you need to become a safe, confident pilot. Whether you’re just starting out, brushing up, or working toward your checkride — this course is for you.
Each Wednesday at 6pm and each class is 2 hours long (Schedule is posted below)
