Ground School

Maple Wings offers online ground school training through Level Flight.  The training is self paced in a delivery model that is inclusive, accessible, and flexible to meet the time and financial needs of students of all ages, lifestyles, and motivations.  Each course is designed to cover the Canadian Aviation Regulations, aviation weather, navigation, and to provide the general knowledge required for the Transport Canada written exams for your desired licence.

Level Flight also offers comprehensive training in the preparation of your PSTAR and radio licence exams. For those pilots wishing to bring their licence back to the “current” status, Level Flight presents the “Rusty Wings” course.

For any further questions regarding ground school training, please reach out to us either by telephone or email.
