Prospective pilots from the area will have a chance to learn the fundamentals of flying as Barton Community College will offer private pilot ground school classes from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Jan. 9 through May 9, in BCC’s Technical Building, T-178.

The four-credit-hour course will provide the ground school requirements allowing students to take the Federal Aviation Administration written private pilot test with the proper endorsement. The written exam is good for 24 calendar months, giving students the time needed to pursue flight training.

The instructor will be Lucas Campbell. For more information call (620) 792-9255 or (866) 813-2462 or e-mail training@bartonccc.edu.
