Aspiring pilots need to learn a number of basics about what makes an airplane fly, aircraft instruments and operation, weather, how to read aviation maps, how to plan a cross-country trip, and many other topics in order to be a safe and skillful pilot. Sugar Valley Ground School's pilot educators help students learn what they need to know by supplementing instruction with audio-visual aids, training film clips, and trips into the hangar to see close-up what the instruments and parts of the airplane look like, and how they work. This service is free of charge to the aviation community, offered by pilots "paying it forward" so others may experience the joy of flight.
