FIRST, THE FOUNDATIONS
What is
ground school?
It’s where you learn the knowledge behind flying—before putting it into practice in the cockpit.
How an aircraft flies. What the weather is telling you. How to read a chart, plan a route, use the radio and understand the rules of the air.
Ground School 3D helps you explore those ideas through visual lessons, hands-on experiments and practice questions, with official references close by.
See how the classroom worksLESS READING PAST IT. MORE MAKING SENSE OF IT.
Make the concept click.
Explore the idea. See what changes. Then check what you understand.
- 01
See what a paragraph can’t show.
Explore aircraft models and visual briefings. Move around the aircraft and connect its parts to their purpose.
- 02
Change one thing. See the effect.
Adjust conditions in interactive experiments. Compare wind, forces and performance concepts as you learn.
- 03
Build understanding that stays.
Test yourself with practice questions, revisit explanations and save your progress across devices.
MAKE IT YOUR HOME AIRPORT
Learn somewhere
you know.
Choose your home airport and explore runway and wind exercises with a familiar starting point. Field elevation brings performance concepts into context.
We start at Springbank, near Calgary. Your classroom can start at another airport in Canada or the United States.
Find your starting pointTeaching scenarios are simplified. Always use current official publications for flight planning.
THE KNOWLEDGE BEHIND THE FLIGHT
A broader view of aviation.
Start with the basics. Follow your curiosity. Return to the concepts you need to practise.
Explore 86 interactive lessons alongside Canadian study material and a growing U.S. course roadmap. Ground School 3D is a developing ground-school study and assessment platform; it does not currently provide accredited ground-school hours, exam endorsements or a guarantee of complete exam coverage.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
A few good questions.
Do I need flying experience?
No. You can begin with the aircraft and the basic principles of flight. If you’re already training, use the classroom to revisit concepts alongside your instructor’s guidance.
What does SPL mean for ground-school study?
The abbreviation depends on the country and context. In Canada, start with the Student Pilot Permit and PSTAR; in the U.S., student and sport pilot certificates are different. Our ground-school guide helps you find the right terminology and sources.
What happens when I register?
Create an account with Google, Apple or an email code. Your selected airport, lesson checks, notes and completed quizzes can then sync across your devices. Already have an account? Use the same sign-in method to return to it.
Do I need an account?
Yes. Register or sign in, then complete your short setup before opening any lessons, practice questions or the 3D lab. Choose your study path and home airport, and your learning can sync across devices.
Create your accountDoes this replace a flight school?
No. Use it as a visual study companion alongside official references and qualified instruction. Training requirements and exam eligibility depend on your country and qualification.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. The website works on phones, tablets and desktop browsers. Sign in on each device to access your synced progress.
YOUR AIRPORT. YOUR PACE. YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
