CISS GLIDER GROUND SCHOOL

 

The ground school will be conducted on eight Saturday mornings (8:30 AM to about noon), starting January 10 and ending on February 28.

 

The classes will be held at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University facility, 5640 Professional Circle, Indianapolis, IN (46241): emergency telephone to classroom: 317-487-6281.

 

Directions:
Travel on I-465 on the west side toward the Indianapolis International Airport.
Exit I-465 onto the Airport Expressway toward downtown Indianapolis (Eastbound).
Take the first exit off the Airport Expressway (Executive Drive, where Adams Mark is located).
Take Executive Drive north across the Airport expressway and go to the first four-way stop sign.
Turn left (onto Professional Circle) and go about 200 yards.
As the road curves left, there is a one storey building in front of you with "Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University" on the side.
Park in the parking lot by the sign and enter through the side parking lot door.

 

EXPENSES: The only charge for the classes is that I collect for copies of materials that I have made for handouts - maybe $2-3 or so per class session. You may wish to purchase other references "on-line" or elsewhere.
