Ground School

Ground school refers to specialized theoretical courses in the field of aviation and its related sciences, designed to enhance knowledge levels and emphasize operational safety aspects.

These courses encompass the theoretical knowledge necessary to pass the theory test required for obtaining a specific type of flight license. Successful completion of the theory test is one of the prerequisites for undertaking the practical flight license examination.
