Riley Shannon Share Posted November 7, 2015 Ground School is a program that will run every second Sunday from 6pm ET beginning on November 15 and will run for 11 sessions. The program is designed to help pilots of all skill levels share their knowledge and experience. Sessions will be held in the TeamSpeak. Connection information will be posted and distributed as required. Each session will focus on a specific component of flying within the ATC system; the course outline is listed below (subject to change). At the end of each session, ATC will be staffed in order to allow pilots the opportunity to practice the items discussed. The ground school is entirely optional.

Camden Bruno Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thank you everyone for coming to Ground School earlier! Please refer to the top of this thread for an updated Ground School schedule. We have shifted the schedule/subjects. For everyone looking to participate in Cross the Pond Westbound 2016, we will be hosting an Oceanic Procedures Ground School on March 6th, which is a couple week's before Cross the Pond will take place.
