Ground activities
Hours of ground sessions are detailed as follow:
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Theory | Theory sessions are all course’s lessons concerning theory. Usually used for ground classes. |
| Preparatory | Usually it is a classroom type instruction, normally on a one-to-one basis, but not excluding group instruction, covering the steps necessary to fly an air exercise. While basic theory of flight, where applicable, would previously have been covered in ground school, some theory may be necessary to explain a point related to the conduct of the air exercise. Essentially Preparatory Ground Instruction should cover the “how to do an air exercise”. This is a presentation given by the instructor when introducing a new exercise. |
| Study | These lessons should represent student’s personal studies. It could be in a classroom type session or at home. |
| Exams | Any ground assessment duration shall be added here. These sessions shall not be counted as ground training. |
