What will I do in the classes?
The classes will follow the online course materials you will register for and fly a state of the art 180 degree flight simulator. You will also take a flight in a real aircraft. The classes are hands-on so we will be visiting several different types of aircraft and businesses on the field. We occasionally have guest speakers, e.g. Air Traffic Controllers, Airline Transport Pilots, Flight Attendants and FAA officials. Most of your time will be spent learning about all the facets of general aviation.
