Waterford Aero Club PPL Ground School
Waterford Aero Club is opening their PPL / LAPL ground school classes to students training with other clubs and to licence holders seeking to convert their license to EASA.
The online ground school is designed to be completely modular with students able to choose the subject(s) they wish to take for each IAA exam sitting. All nine subjects are offered four times per year so students can progress at their own pace and in line with their flight training.
The schedule for the upcoming block of classes is:
| Air Law | February 16th & March 9th (1900-2100) |
| Human Performance | February 8th & 15th (1900-2100) |
| Meteorology | February 10th & 17th (1900-2200) |
| Navigation | February 20th & 27th (1900-2200) |
| Flight Planning & Performance | February 6th & 13th (1900-2100) |
| Communications | February 23rd (1900-2200) |
| Principles of Flight | February 24th & March 3rd (1900-2200) |
| Aircraft General Knowledge | February 21st & 28th (1900-2100) |
| Operational Procedures | March 6th (1900-2100) |
| Mock Exams | 18th March (in Waterford) |
Waterford Aero Club operates a fleet of three C172 (R/S) and has availability for both flight and ground training so please get in touch if you’d like to learn more. “We’re a club first and foremost so you are welcome to drop down and see the facilities and meet the team or perhaps take an introductory flight experience with us first.”
A full overview and FAQ are available on the club website or you can email ctki@waterfordaeroclub.com if you have any additional queries or would like to discuss enrolling.
