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.
