Who is Ground School for?

For those interested in learning more about aviation and all the amazing things it encompasses, 5 Cyclone offers a weekly ground school class.  This class is typically broken down into two periods with the first period focussing on theory and the second period involving a fun, practical, hands-on, learning opportunity.  This class is available for any cadet who is interested in aviation and wants to explore the concepts behind becoming a pilot, meteorologist, aviation mechanic or airfield operator, etc.  Taught by experienced pilots, this course is definitely recommended as a preparatory base for those who wish to try to apply for their cadet glider or power flying licence.
