SOUTHEAST AVIATION SEMINARS Weekend Accelerated Ground Schools

Southeast Aviation Seminars began conducting private pilot and instrument pilot weekend ground school courses in Birmingham, Alabama in 1984, when the FAA started publishing the actual exam questions. Initially, classes were held only in Birmingham and various other Alabama locations where the FAA Exam could be administered. In 1986, SAS relocated to the Atlanta area, where weekend courses in other major southeast cities were added. Our instructor staff consists of Advanced Ground Instructors, Instrument Ground Instructors, and Flight Instructors, all well versed in delivering successful accelerated courses. The owner and Chief Instrcutor, Rick Yandle has over thirty-four years of flying experince 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 questions books were written by Southeast Aviation Semiars instructors and are specifically designed for accelerated courses. Our current success rates are: Private Pilot - 96% Instrument Pilot - 93% Instrument Instructor - 100%
