Aviation 101
8:30-11:30 AS 120 Principles of Aeronautical Science
This is a 3-credit college course
Taught by Captain Kevin Weber, Marines Top Gun and fighter jet pilot, and United Airlines Captain & Instructor.
This is an introductory course in Aeronautical Science designed to provide the student with a broad-based aviation orientation in flight-related areas appropriate to all non-Aeronautical Science degree programs. Subjects include historical developments in aviation and the airline industry; theory of flight; airport operations; aircraft systems and performance; elements of air navigation; basic meteorology theory; air traffic principles; flight physiology; and aviation regulations and safety.
11:45-2:45 Ground School + Workshop
This course develops the aeronautical knowledge required to pass the FAA Knowledge Exam and prepares students for certification as a Private Pilot with an Airplane Single Engine Land rating. Topics include: regulations, safety, pre-solo operations, cross-country planning, airspace, chart use, communications, weather, performance, weight and balance, aerodynamics, and decision-making. Students will prepare to excel in aviation by mastering mental math calculations and concepts related to flight. In addition, workshops will be given to master skills that typically require additional ground schools, such as VFR mapping, radio calls and FAA test prep.
Students prepare to take the FAA private pilot exam, learning the fundamentals of flight. In addition, guest speakers and field trip opportunities will continue to inspire students to pursue their dreams in the field of aviation.
