Flight
training is one of the most popular activities at
Florida Air Academy! It
is so popular that we have the largest secondary
school flight program
in the world. We are continually updating the program
to ensure that the cadets receive the best, age appropriate
curriculum possible.
All flight students younger than 15 and a half are
in the Junior Wings Program. This program has three
phases: Introduction to Flight, Flight Improvement,
and Flight Proficiency.
INTRODUCTION
TO FLIGHT
First-time potential pilots begin in this course. After
one hour of ground instruction, the budding aviator
will continue one-on-one with an instructor for another
five hours in the airplane. The student will receive
an overview of what general aviation is all about by
flying maneuvers, practicing take-offs, and going to
a distant airport.
Flight
IMPROVEMENT AND Proficiency
These supplemental courses are designed for pilots still too young to begin Phase
1
or
those
seeking additional preparation in subject areas and language. Also an excellent
way for students to maintain their flight proficiency and knowledge, this course
includes additional flying to prepare the student for the private pilot course.
At the Flight Proficiency level, a cadet may take a "stage check" that
can qualify
him to skip the first stage of the private pilot program. |
