I highly recommend the Spitfire Flight School as an in-person ground school in preparation for your Private Pilot written exam.  This course has changed lives, because in addition to providing instruction from individuals from various aviation backgrounds, one also gains access to a rich community of aviators where anyone who is passionate about learning to fly can be lifted by a caring, knowledgeable network who just wants you to SOAR!!  There are guest speakers (like Fighter or U2 pilots!) as well as lunches, raffles, tutoring sessions, hands-on-learning, and lots of down-to-earth advice on how to get where you want to go.  If you are not sure where you want to go, the Spitfire Flight School instructors and volunteers will help you and take the time to point you in the right direction.  They also offer flight lessons and discovery flights.  I have made countless friends and have had amazing experiences that were a direct result of this school, and the success rate of passing the written test is EXCELLENT.  This opportunity is a gem and your future starts HERE!
