“The desire to fly is an idea handed down to us by our ancestors who, in their grueling travels across trackless lands in prehistoric times, looked enviously on the birds soaring freely through space, at full speed, above all obstacles, on the infinite highway of the air.”

Spring 2022 Private Pilot Virtual Ground School

Posted 1 year ago by freeflightaviation_nzi70l

Students do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers.

They must talk about what they are learning, write reflectively about it, relate it to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives. They must make what they learn part of themselves.

Arthur W. Chickering and Stephen C. Ehrmann
