Nicholl Aviation is coming to Bad Axe! Plans are underway to begin offering flight training at Huron County Memorial Airport—the same airport where my own aviation journey began in 1999. From my first flight to my first solo and ultimately earning my Private Pilot Certificate, this airport has always felt like home. I’m excited to return and help a new generation of pilots take their first steps into aviation. Ground School begins October 3, with flight training opportunities coming soon.

Choosing the right ground school is one of the first—and most important—decisions you'll make as a student pilot. In this article, I break down the pros and cons of instructor-led classes, online courses, and self-study to help you find the learning approach that best fits your goals, schedule, and learning style.

Join us for our Private Pilot Ground School beginning October 1st. You’ll learn about all of the topics to prepare you for the FAA Written Knowledge Exam that is a prerequisite to earning your private pilot certificate.
