Service Description
In this 5-week course, students will explore and discuss some of the steps involved in becoming a pilot and gain an introductory insight into the world of aviation, airplanes and light aircraft flying. This class is discussion-based and uses photos, video, and slides to introduce you to the world of private aviation and flying light aircraft. ✈️ Session 1: The Airplane – Exploring the fuselage and cockpit. Interact in an onscreen quiz to check your understanding of your aircraft and its main equipment. Think about the personal equipment you will need on board and consider which skills are needed to hold a licence to fly! ✈️ Session 2: Getting ready for flight – internal and external inspection of the airplane and pre-flight checks. Learn your phonetic alphabet and decide on your call name! ✈️ Session 3: You have control, I have control. Take a 'walk through' your first flight with your instructor and investigate the primary effect of each of the main flight controls. Challenge yourself to learn the mnemonic, BUMPFICHH to make sure it is safe to land! ✈️ Session 4: Over and Out! Learn and practice some of the main radio calls you will experience on your first flight. Learn how the pilot uses the transponder and sets the codes for radio failure, emergency, and hijack! ✈️ Session 5: Emergency on board! Air travel is generally very safe, but a good pilot must be prepared for all eventualities. Do you think you would have the skills to handle an onboard emergency? Find out how to approach a forced landing, loss of radio or fire on board! Can you use your judgment to find a safe place to land? ----------------------------------------------- Collaboration in the classroom is warmly encouraged.
