Sublette BOCES

Are you looking for a fun, educational class for your child to do on Fridays, or maybe you would like to join them to learn all about flying! If so, then Take Flight is the class for you. We’ll show you that you really can do that. We’ll cover the aviation theory and flight maneuvers you would need to know if you were a Student Pilot preparing for your first solo flight. Topics include basic aerodynamics, aviation weather, flight maneuvers and FAA rules and regulations for that solo flight. All of this training will be entered in your personal logbook to count as ground school training for your FAA Written Exam. On the flight simulator, you’ll practice take-offs and landings and the basic maneuvers that you’d need to know to be able to take that first flight by yourself. The simulator training won’t qualify you to fly a real aircraft, but, when you decide to take lessons, you’ll know what to expect. For the last class, we’ll have a couple of professional pilots come in to discuss careers and opportunities available in aviation.
