Students experience aviation in a real flight school environment with FAA-licensed instructors, offering hands-on learning, extensive simulator experience, and the opportunity to pilot a real airplane.
The Young Aviator Academy offers a dynamic, interactive, and STEM-based program for teenagers aged 12 to 17, designed to ignite their passion for science through aviation. Students gain hands-on experience in a real flight school environment, learning about aerodynamics, flight planning, and aircraft systems. The curriculum incorporates science, technology, engineering, and math with practical aviation experiences, including extensive simulator time on various aircraft like the Cessna 172, Cirrus SR20/SR22, Boeing B737-800, and Airbus A320. Participants will also have the opportunity to build an airfoil and wind tunnel, and receive Air Traffic Controller (ATC) lessons. The program aims to develop essential flight skills and safe decision-making, with the potential for students to pilot a real airplane under the guidance of FAA-licensed instructors. The academy emphasizes improving knowledge in Physics, Mathematics, and English while exploring career insights into the vast aviation industries.
A typical day involves a balance of discovering and learning general aviation knowledge and flight operations, with opportunities to test piloting skills on flight simulators and engage in hands-on activities like building an airfoil.
This program is ideal for teenagers aged 12 to 17 who are interested in an intensive, focused path to becoming a certificated private pilot and exploring a career in aviation.
