Take the first step of your aviation adventure.

Building strong foundations of aviation knowledge.

HOSSFLIGHT provides ground instruction for people at the start of their aviation journey.

Our ground school classes use a hybrid format featuring online activities and in-person instruction to make the most of students’ and instructors’ time.

We believe that while self-directed study works okay for many or even most people, face-to-face learning can’t be beat for understanding and retention.

Local + Personal

In-person ground school at the private pilot level is uncommon. In the time of pilot shortages and online everything, students find test prep apps websites to be the easiest option because it’s often the only option.

Online ground schools are convenient, but instructor interaction is limited to one sentence replies a day or two later. Students are mostly on their own to wrap their heads around complicated topics.

We serve Oshkosh, Wisconsin and the surrounding communities.
