Congratulations to Michael Benenati! Michael is the first high school student in New Hampshire to earn high school credit for completing Laconia Flight Academy's (LFAs) Private Pilot Ground School course and passing the FAA's Private Pilot Knowledge Exam.

If you've ever had an interest in learning how to fly, taking a ground school course before you get into an airplane is a very smart way to save money on earning your private pilot certificate. Training flights should be about practicing what you've learned on the ground first. Learning about aerodynamics, aircraft systems, and weather for the first time, while sitting in an airplane with the engine running, is a very expensive way to earn a pilot license.
