Learn to fly before getting to flight school
Flight Training is very difficult and most students who start the journey to becoming pilots, unfortunately, don't finish.
If you are not well prepared for flight school, you will struggle significantly. The more you struggle, the more expensive it becomes as you have to keep repeating ground classes and retaking flight lessons. The key to ensuring this doesn't happen is to attend our Ground School and Simulator Flying Classes which can be taken either in person or online. During these ground school classes, you will be taught by our certified FAA, SACAA, EASA or TCAA Flight Instructors. The objective of these classes is to teach you what you will learn at flight school, prior to you arriving there. This will enable you to learn and master all the theoretical and practical elements of your training without pressure.
This will save you time, money, and will make your experience at flight school easier, significantly increasing your chances of success.
These classes are held either online or in-person, are flexible and are FREE for all students enrolled on our Pilot Mentorship Program.
For those not enrolled on our mentorship program, these classes are paid classes.

​
We have 3 types of classes:
​
1. Group classes
​
WE ARE CURRENTLY ONLY RUNNING FLEXIBLE & ONLINE GROUND SCHOOL CLASSES.
GROUP CLASSES HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED TEMPORARILY.
2. FLEXIBLE Classes
These classes are flexible and suitable for all.
You can distribute your classes over the period of 1-3 months by booking slots that are convenient for your schedule.
You can also choose to do the theoretical lectures online from your location to save money on accommodation and then do the practical sessions in Lagos, Nigeria over a few days. With flexible classes, we accommodate your specific needs, whatever they are.
​
3. ONLINE Ground School Classes (1-on-1 with Instructor)
We offer online Groundschool classes. These are 1-on-1 classes with our certified flight instructors and cover your theory topics.
These classes do not include flying in the simulator. These classes are flexible, to accommodate your schedule and last on average 3-4 weeks.

NOTE: AS OUR INSTRUCTORS ARE CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS,
YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO REPEAT GROUND SCHOOL WHEN YOU GET TO FLIGHT SCHOOL!
You will be able to sit your exams and start flying immediately (T&Cs apply).
During the ground school portion of the program, you will be taught by certified FAA, SACAA, EASA or TCAA Flight Instructors.
First, you will learn all the theoretical subjects you will encounter at flight school including:

In addition to the theory classes you will also get practical experience and be taught how to fly using our state-of-the-art flight simulators. You will learn how to take off, land, navigate and perform various flight manoeuvres such as stalls, steep turns and engine failures. Our simulator can convert between analogue round gauges) and G1000 glass cockpit to replicate whatever type of aircraft you will be flying at your individual flighr school.
What are people saying about the Our Ground Classes?

"I can’t remember the last time I actually had fun learning! My entire experience was great and the instructor is so patient and kind that he really cares about you learning, so there’s no way that you won’t understand what is being taught, even if you’re a slow learner. I came into this course unsure if I would actually ever be able to fly a plane, and now I can take off, set a course for a circuit, and come back around to land the plane and all of my peers can do the same thing as well! If you’re thinking about joining this course, even if you’re not sure about being a pilot, stop sitting on the sidelines and join this amazing course, today."

"This course prepares you for anything and everything you'll experience when you go for your flight training as it was structured to answer every single questions and fear I had before now. The instructor understands what it takes to prepare any student to go out there and fly. I had doubted my ability often times before this class, but once I got going with our instructor Captian Shola there was no looking back! Captain Zino is a fantastic mentor (to say the very least ) and I’ll 101% recommend this class to all aspiring pilots as you won’t believe the level of Knowledge you’d gain from this!! Give it a go!"
"The three-week ground school and simulator course was amazing and full of impact. Right from day one to the very last day there was never a day I came to Zino Aviation and left without learning something new. I only wish I spent more time there! This course has helped me understand what to expect in flight school, so I want to say a very big thank you to Zino Aviation and I would definitely recommend this course to others."
