Classes are held most Monday's at the South Saint Paul KSGS airport in the terminal lobby area.  1700 ~ 2000 hours CST  Walk-ins welcome!    Email our primary Advanced Ground Instructor Tyra@SticknRudder.com for more information. 

The Sport/Private Pilot class runs from 1800~1900.  Flight Instructor training courses start at 1700 hours and include the following classes as part of the course.

We use the Gleim Pilot training systems in our flight school.  You may purchase it online directly or we can order it for you and get free shipping.  This 8 week class will prepare you for the FAA Knowledge Test.  The group rate course fee is $ 299, please pay your instructor on the first night of your class. 

Students who complete our ground schools are invited back at any time for a no-fee refresher or to join us on one of our field trips to ATC.  The Private Pilot and/or Instrument Pilot textbooks and tools in "kit" form are $ 158 (tax and shipping included) Individual sessions available at $50 per instructional hour. 

The Private Pilot ground school also doubles as a Commercial Pilot knowledge test prep or basics refresher course.  Pilots who want to become a Certificated Flight Instructor (CFI) should also attend this course.

 Note:  Intermittent Quizzes and a final exam will be given during the duration of the class.  Field trips to ATC and Control Towers will be scheduled.

The most important part of learning to fly is a quality Ground School.  

This is where you will obtain the knowledge to turn you into a competent, and safe, pilot.  Don't be fooled that you can do this on your own via a self-study DVD or textbook course, or in a sales gimmick "free" ground school. 

A good ground school with other pilots, and a few private ground sessions with your local CFI, will cost a few dollars, but in the long run this is what will give you the skills to fly safely and skillfully.   Flight training begins on the ground, not in the air.
