"Learning the Right Side of the Box" was a hands-on GPS workshop for me. The class time combined with time in the simulator gave me the opportunity to really learn and understand the capability of GPS navigation equipment. The next time ATC unexpectedly modifies my flight plan, I will be much more confident in my ability to manage the flight and navigate using GPS tools."

BJS' combined Instrument Ground School and Simulator training provides a multifaceted and comprehensive approach that brings the book knowledge out of the classroom and into focus in the simulator.

I traveled 5,000 miles one way to take the BJS Pilot Ground School Garmin 430/530 workshop. The course was worth the trip. The workshop offered quality instruction in a well planned, relaxed, real life workshop followed by two hours on the BJS Garmin 430-equipped simulator.

Since it has been eleven years since I got my Private Pilot Certificate I took the BJS Private Pilot Ground School course as a refresher. Since I spent 3 hours, round trip, to take the course, I particularly appreciated the professional and efficient way that the course material was presented…not a minute of time was wasted.

Small class size will make you think that you're getting one-on-one instruction. At BJS there is always time to have your questions answered and points clarified.

Here's what BJS students liked about the BJS Pilot Ground School experience:

"I feel that I received 20 weekend courses for the price of 2."

"It made me realize that flying is more than just knowing how to control the plane. The course was a thorough, effective coverage of the topics. Not just a crash course. You actually LEARN!"

"The enthusiastic instruction! Motivational, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, experienced, solid."

"I liked the organized, straightforward manner that the information was presented. I benefitted by the most information being presented in the least amount of time with most retention possible. The course was as advertised."

"The best class one can take because BJS gives lectures instead of watching a movie."

"Clear and concise information. All time is put to good use, nothing is wasted, so you get your money's worth."

"The broad knowledge base that is not just targeted for the test. It may save my life someday."
