In order for students to become familiar with all aspects related to flights as well as aircraft, we at Blumenau Flight Academy give a course called "Ground School" where not only the technical aspect is showcased to the student but also flight planning aspects.
There are 3 Ground School models at Blumenau Flight Academy:

Ground School trainig is composed by theoretical and practical phases, being the practical called CPT (CPT – Cockpit Procedures Training).
