“Flight Exploration” is a five-day immersive introduction to an aviation career.
Designed to provide hands-on experience in flight training, the program is presented in three components across five days: live flight training in beautiful north central Arizona; Aviation related knowledge topics (Weather, Air Traffic Management, Safety Analysis, Night Operations, Cross Country Operations) presented in an easy-to-understand format; and Instructor-led training in a state-of-the-art flight simulator. Students will be paired for flights in our Cessna 172 aircraft. These “SkyHawks” are all equipped with the latest in advanced avionics (Garmin G1000 System). In addition, each student will also get to try their hand at flying one of our simulators. Our professional collegiate flight training staff will ensure a safe and exciting time in the air and on the ground. At the conclusion of this program, students will leave with an understanding of flight training and collegiate life in pursuit of an aviation career.
The complete program includes:
- Four hours of Hands-On flight time in our C-172S consisting of three flights — one day local orientation flight, a cross-country flight to a destination airport and one night flight to greater Phoenix area!
- Ground instruction by an FAA Certified Flight Instructor in preparation and debrief for flights
- Group education in aviation-related topics
- Flight time in a Flight Simulator
