2014 Aerostation, the Art & Science of Ballooning
LTA (Lighter-Than-Air) Ground School
It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill.
— Wilbur Wright
Are you current? Are you proficient? Do you know the difference?
Can you fly in Class "D" airspace without a radio?
Can you identify class "E" airspace? Where the "F" in airspace?
Who is responsible for making sure a logbook entry is made after maintenance?
When is a Flight Review due? What does it take to be legal? Safe?
Find the answers to these questions and much more at LTA Ground School
These lively and fun Saturday morning sessions are perfect for anyone interested in learning more about the sport of hot air ballooning:
Crew
Aspiring pilots
Student pilots
Private pilots
Commercial pilots
People interested in ballooning
If you are a crew member, this is a good place to increase your understanding of what’s going on. If you aspire to become a pilot, this is the first step to passing the FAA knowledge exam and earning your pilot certificate. If you are already a pilot, this is a good refresher. If you are working on your Commercial certificate, this is where you can brush up on what you will be teaching your students. Sure you can study on your own, but the classroom setting makes for interesting discussion and questions are asked that you might not think of on your own.
When: Saturdays, Jan 18, Feb 1, 22, Mar, 1, 8, 15 (subject to change to meet class needs)
08:00 - 12:00 (or later)
Where: Jackson Co. Airport (JXN) EAA Chapter 304 hgr., Jackson MI
Cost: $220. (Discount for previous students)
Qualifies: For IMC & Schantz insurance seminar discounts
Students who successfully complete the class will be eligible to receive the required endorsement to take the private or commercial LTA FAA Knowledge exam.
