===Skydiving===
===Skydiving===
The Skydiving Division is an inclusive group for learning and experienced skydivers. The division organizes several events for various skill-levels, including tandem-jump events for beginners, indoor wind-tunnel exercises during the winter, and group jumps for licensed individuals. AFF/PFF courses are also offered via a partnership with skydiving schools, leading to the Solo License. Other competency certifications are available as well.

===Ground School===
===Ground School===
Ground School is the theoretical/classroom component of your flight training. It is called “ground school” since the other component is the practical or actual flying which takes place in the sky. In order to get a particular pilot license, you need to successfully complete both the theoretical and practical components to earn your license. In a way, it’s similar to getting your driver’s license where you have to pass a written test and then the actual driving test to earn your license, except in this case, the training is much more involved. A Private Pilot License or PPL, will allow you to fly a single-engine prop plane, like a cessna 172, anywhere, with passengers, only during daylight in VFR conditions.
