Description
Progress of your online training.
The ground school training has a logical path through a variety of subjects and chapters, which must be followed.
For example, starting with radio navigation is of little utility if you must first understand the fundamentals, such as controlled airspace and weather minima.
Each lesson includes several short videos from an instructor who explains the material.
Throughout the training and in each subject, you have access to quizzes to test your knowledge, practice, and get used to the types of questions that will be asked of you on the Written Exam.
Once you have completed and understand the material in all the modules, do a general review, and test your skill using our practice exams (included in the training).
Do not hesitate to ask questions on the dedicated platform, where an instructor will answer you as quickly as possible.
