Ground school with handbook pages, a real lesson plan, and a quiz that means something. Cirrus and other single-engine land, IFR in the actual system — not a slide deck that never leaves the classroom.
Ground school here is a course, not a question mill. FAA books, a CFI lesson plan, a quiz at 90%. A CFI reviews your work under 14 CFR 61.35 before anyone signs a knowledge-test endorsement. This campus does not issue the endorsement.
Instructor of Record
Zachary “Zack” Rome, CFI / CFII
Independent CFI/CFII and instructor of record for Veni, Vidi, Volavi. Specializes in Cirrus and other single-engine land airplanes, high-performance work, cross-country, and instrument flying. Mountain flying and Southern California IFR show up in how this campus teaches ADM — that’s where the judgment actually gets used.
First solo through CFI, plus the rust-removal path home. Students, instructors, and current pilots share one campus — not three separate products.
Students
The certificate path is hard enough. A syllabus, the FAA handbooks, a lesson plan, a chapter quiz at 90%, and a CFI who will not rubber-stamp the written. A CFI reviews your work under 14 CFR 61.35 before anyone signs a knowledge-test endorsement. This campus does not issue the endorsement.
CFIs
You’re already carrying the flying, the paperwork, and the student.
Pilots
The certificate isn’t the finish line. IFR club, Cockpit Comeback, membership dual, and the Hangar tools are how you keep the scan and the judgment from going quiet.
What We Do
Ground School
Private through CFII, plus Cockpit Comeback. Required reading, CFI lesson plans, chapter quizzes, notes after you pass, and a CFI on the other end of a knowledge-test review.
Membership
Cloud Hopper starts at $25/month. Ask the desk if you need dual hours on top of the ground course.
Community
Campus Forums — Ask a CFI, DPE Gouges, and Hangar Talk. You should not have to hunt for a person when you’re stuck.
The Hangar
Kneeboard, logbook, live weather, study copilot, and an Exam Hall with the same tools you will see at an FAA-approved testing center. Built in, not a third-party tab.
Why It Exists
Aviation training should not be a pile of questions or a video that never checks whether it landed. Teach it well and better pilots show up. Keep them current and the system is safer.
