Private Pilot Ground School Spring, 2023
2023-02-21 18:30 - 20:30
The Morey Airplane Company ground school is designed to provide an enjoyable learning experience while covering the subjects necessary to pass the FAA Knowledge Exam for the respective rating. Lecture time is kept to a minimum to enable maximum participation by attendees in individual and team activity, accomplishing actual tasks encountered as pilots.
The emphasis is on safe piloting rather than examination preparation. Our ground school is a combination of on-line and in-person instruction. While our instructors do an excellent job covering the required knowledge topics, they also teach for real-world situations.
Nonetheless, participants will be examined on all the materials that they will encounter on the knowledge test. Course time is logged as ground school and may be applied to the appropriate rating. Upon proof of passing, the practice examination attendees will receive an endorsement to take the FAA knowledge test.
We strive to maintain coordination between our student’s ground studies and their flight training as well. While the ground school may be taken without stepping into the plane, our students maximize their training value when paired with flight instruction from us as well.
This 12-week, 24-hour class covers all portions of the FAA knowledge examination, including regulations, aerodynamics, weather, navigation, aircraft performance, flight planning, communications, weight, and balance, etc.
One class will be spent learning pertinent facts about airplane mechanical issues and how the airplanes operate.
Classroom practice involves actual weight and balance, navigation, flight planning issues, and communications on a typical cross-country flight. These exercises are discussed by the class to share experiences.

Instrument Ground School, Spring 2023
2023-01-12 18:30 - 2023-04-20 20:30 | Morey Airplane Company, 8300 Airport Road, Middleton, WI, 53562, United States
The class will run for 12 weeks and be divided into two six-week terms. We meet Thursday evenings at 6:30 PM for two hours in the Morey Airplane Company conference room. The Winter term begins Thursday, January 12 and goes though February 16. Following a four-week break, the Spring term begins Thursday, March 16 and finishes April 20.

The class has two objectives: 1) To help you become a safe and proficient instrument pilot and 2) successfully pass the FAA instrument pilot-airplane written test. Topics covered in the first six-week term will be FAR’s, advanced human factors, instrumentation, attitude Instrument flying, navigation, airport operations, airspace, and the ATC system. Topics covered in the second six-week term include: IFR charts; en route procedures holding; arrival procedures; approach charts; approach procedures; meteorology, and IFR flight planning.

You will need to have the following references at the start of class: Jeppesen Instrument Commercial textbook and test guide, Airman Certification Standards for Instrument Pilot- Airplane, and The FAR/AIM. All four can be purchased from the Morey Airplane Company office. Additional supplies such as IFR charts and chart supplements will be needed later.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Debbie at the Morey office (608-836-1711) by next Tuesday, January 5 to register and arrange to pick up your materials. Once you are registered, I will provide the first class session reading assignment.

Webinar: Things to consider when flying during cold weather months.
Winter is coming….
Unlike the Westros of George Martin’s Game of Thrones fame, winter in Wisconsin does not last a lifetime, it just seems that way.

Topics will include but not be limited to: Additional considerations during winter preflight. Dress for success, not frostbite. How cold is too cold to fly safely? What does hydrophilic mean and why don’t my brakes work? Do I really need to preheat my engine? And many more.

July 24 & 25 (9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.) – BOOK SIGNING @ MIDDLETON MUNICIPAL AIRPORT – MOREY FIELD (C29). During his four years above the earth, throughout 58 years of teaching more than a thousand pilots, Field Morey overcame fear, faced weather, set records, had abundant fun…and as he puts it, “learned from my students…probably more than I taught.” In his memoir, the two-time “Flight Instructor of the Year,” and Wisconsin Aviation Hall of Fame honoree, Field Morey recounts his coming-of-age in aviation and relates stories of memorable flights, remarkable adventures and relationships with students and family. Yes, this is a story about flying, but it is much more…It is a study of how excellence evolves, not always in a linear progression, but with passion and vision. “Four Years Above The Earth” by Field Morey (ISBN: 9781662422980 – PAGES: 278 – $25.95). Available at – Amazon.com & BarnesAndNoble.com, or at the book signing, July 24 – 25, 2021 (9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.) at Middleton Municipal Airport – Morey Field, Middleton, Wisconsin (C29).
