Once you meet these requirements, you can start your pilot training. This training has two parts: ground school and flight school. In ground school, you'll learn all about aviation theory subjects, including air navigation, air regulations, aviation meteorology and technical. Flight school is where you'll learn hands-on flying skills, like taking off and landing.
