Ground School

Learning about gliders is a lot of fun but it’s also a lot of work.

Most cadet squadrons hold 'ground school' classes for their cadets. Some cadet squadrons come together and provide a joint ground school.

Ground school classes provide cadets with more detailed information about aviation and aeronautics than what is taught in the core program.

Participating in the ground school will help cadets learn everything needed to pass the qualifying exam for the gliding scholarship (and the power scholarship as well).
