Aviation Ground School course at Red Bluff Municipal Airport (KRBL), California

Local Certified Flight Instructor Irwin Fust will be conducting an Aviation Ground School course for those interested in pursuing a Sport Pilot or Private Pilot license in the future.

The next class begins on Thursday, Sept. 12 and runs for 11 consecutive 6-9 p.m. Thursdays. The ground school will take place at the Terminal Building at Red Bluff Municipal Airport. The total cost of the 11 classes is $280, which includes all required books and supplies.

The course will include flight instruction on the class's three screen, level one Flight Simulator and an introductory instructional flight in the school's two place training aircraft. The ground school course will cover all of the topics necessary to take and pass the FAA written knowledge test, which is required before completing flight training.

The course will cover all of the elements necessary to acquire the knowledge for the test: airplanes and aerodynamics, aircraft engines, instruments and systems, federal airspace, airports, Air Traffic Control and federal aviation regulations, airplane performance and weight and balance, aviation weather and weather services, navigation charts, navigation systems and cross country flight planning.

The information taught in the course is necessary in understanding how airplanes fly and how to safely fly in American airspace. It is required knowledge for those seeking pilot's licenses. But, the course also appeals to anyone who wants to understand the concepts of flight.

Call Fust at (530) 351-8203 by Sept. 1 to reserve a place in the class. The number of student slots are limited. You can call the same number for information or you can send an email to ifust@digitalpath.net.
