Location

If you choose in person Ground school it is held in the EFC class room at the Parkland Airport. If doing the course online works better for you then you can work through the program at your leisure any where you have access to your computer / internet.  

Course Information

The ground school is divided into four modules:

  • Air Law
  • General Knowledge
  • Meterology
  • Navigation

You may begin your training at the start of any of the four modules. Once you have completed the ground school and have a minimum of 10 hours of flight experience you can write the Transport Canada Regulated written exam.

The Private Pilot written exam will consist of 100 questions and will require a passing mark of 60% overall, and a minimum of 60% in each of the 4 sections. This exam can be done right at the Edmonton Flying Club and booked through our Chief Flight Instructor once you have a letter of recommendation from either your flight instructor after successfully completing a few practice exams, or from your online ground school course after successfully completing the exam prep course.
