Forum >> Flight Training >> Should I Go To Ground SchoolRe: Should I Go To Ground SchoolI was in a similar situation, started flying in the early 80s and ran out of money after about 18 hours. When I decided to start again in 2007 I signed up for a part 135 ground school (jepp based program) finished and took the written, then stared over on the flying part of the program. With all the changes in airspace, comms, services, and navigation it was worth it when I started the flying portion. I also think I had a better relationship with my flying instructor because he knew I had already passed the written with a good score and we were able to concentrate on the hands-on procedural training as opposed to the whys behind doing it.
Re: Re: Should I Go To Ground SchoolAnother viable option would be to learn under part 61 with a CFI in the plane and on the ground. Get all the books your CFI suggests and read them, do all the book exercises, answer all the questions and take many practice tests. You could flight train during the day and study small units at night. It will all add up. Sign-up for all the on-line crap you can find, especially AOPA's flight training stuff. In other words, immerse yourself in the aviation world. Read mags, hang out at the airport, peruse the on-line forums and ask questions. That's what I'm doing and it seems to be working well.
