Delta Connection Academy

Commercial Ground School

I began Commercial Ground School with 3 other students this past Monday. We started the first few classes talking about crew resource management (CRM) and reviewed a few accidents that were caused because of the lack of CRM. There are a ton of these on YouTube. Some of the accidents we reviewed were: Aero Peru 603, Air Florida – Palm 60, Flying Tiger 66, Eastern 401, and others. We will begin flight lessons on Monday – in the simulator & the Piper Seminole (PA-44). Since I have had some difficulty in the past, I plan to do lots of back-seating. 10 hours are required, and it’s best to complete them in the beginning, while becoming familiar with a new aircraft & when learning lots of new information.
