This course allows students to be involved in an off-campus program that provides aviation training that exceeds that offered in the district. A cooperative arrangement between CISD and an approved off-campus sponsoring facility/provider is required for this course. The cost of the program is solely the students responsibility. 

Aviation Ground School is designed to extend student interests in all aspects of aviation while preparing students to take the formal ground requisite exam for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) FAA Airman Knowledge Test which is required to obtain a private pilot’s license.
