About Us
Rick Yandle began conducting private and instrument pilot weekend ground courses in Birmingham, Alabama in 1984 when the FAA started publishing the actual exam questions. Initially, classes were only held in Birmingham and various other Alabama locations where the FAA Knowledge Exam could be administered. In 1986, Rick relocated to the Atlanta area where all weekend courses are currently being scheduled.
Our instructor staff consists of advanced ground instructors, instrument ground instructors, and certified flight instructors, all well versed in delivering successful accelerated courses.
The owner and chief instructor, Rick Yandle, has over 45 years of flying experience with thousands of hours as a flight and ground instructor.
No video tapes are used in our classes. At least one, and in most cases, two instructors are present during the entire class to answer questions. The textbooks and workbooks were written by Rick Yandle Ground Schools instructors and are specifically designed for accelerated courses.
Our current success rates are:
Private Pilot .................................. 96 %
Instrument Pilot ............................ 91 %
Instrument Instructor .................. 100%
