When it comes to ground school…
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.

PRIVATE PILOT TRAINING

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.
