Ground School
Ground School at Blackbushe Aviation
The initial PPL or LAPL requires nine exams to be passed.
At Blackbushe aviation we conduct ground school for all nine subjects. We also conduct exam preparation as well as the exams themselves. Ground school can be conducted online or at the club - in a group or one to one. Exams are required to be taken at the club.
