The problem in the Theory of Flight course was to have more students eligible to take the FAA private pilot exam. During the last three academic years (1999-2001) the cumulative grade point average (GPA) dropped from 3.34 to 2.68. This study identified the Theory of Flight student's learning styles (N=55) according to Kolb's (1993) Learning Style Inventory. It was found that the students with the highest mean score (34.67) fell into the Active Experimentation followed by Abstract Conceptualization with a mean score of 31.96. The means for the total group were 4.42 for Active Experimentation minus Reflective Observation scale and 8.45 for Abstract Conceptualization minus Concrete Experience scale. This study determined the level of satisfaction of the delivery of instruction according to Hamby's 2001) Training Satisfaction Survey. Both sections were found to be Satisfying. The study determined the relationship between the student's learning style and the instructor's teaching style. One conclusion was that more involvement from the instructor to the student might increase the student's satisfaction with the training.
