Aeroscholars
and The Hobby Quest have teamed up to
deliver the EAA's Aeroscholars program directly to high
schools. The EAA AeroScholar courses were developed
in collaboration with Utah Valley State College, along
with aviation educators, EAA education staff, aviation
partners, high school science teachers, as well as a National
Advisory Panel of aviation experts, nationally recognized
educators, and business leaders.
The AeroScholars programs consists of two aviation courses offered
to high school students which will be instructed
in the classroom and online.
Each program consists of 10 hours of classroom instruction
and lectures, educational videos, 3D animations, interactive
questions, and other learning tools. These courses emphasize
the important questions, concepts, and principles that
will help students excel no matter which path they choose
in life.
“This classroom instruction is also supplemented
by “live” online help for 9 hours each day
from 10:00 A.M. until 7:00 P.M. Eastern Time, Monday through
Friday.”
The courses correlate to NSTA National Science Standards
and many high schools provide high school graduation
credit to AeroScholar students in addition
to the 2-5
earned college credits which each student
may receive upon completion.

Part
2: Advanced Aviation Science: Private Pilot - 17 Stages/Weeks
Click here for
full details of Part 2
Advanced Aviation Science, Private Pilot further develops
the student's understanding and interest of aviation science.
Although most students may not pilot an aircraft for a
living, most people will dream of flying an aircraft.
Advanced Aviation Science brings the dream of being a
pilot many steps closer. Students will learn about airport
systems, air traffic control procedures, airspace, aviation
weather, air navigation, radio communication procedures,
and federal aviation regulations.
The course will also cover aircraft performance and cross-country
flight planning. Additional weather theory is provided
as well as weather reports and forecasts for pilots. Aircraft
weight and balance, and the use of pilot tools and charts
are all taught using our instructors as well as comprehensive
video, interactive questions, online lessons and the FAA
publication, The Private Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical
Knowledge. Successful completion of the course provides
three hours of college credit and prepares students for
the FAA Private Pilot written examination. The course
features hundreds of interactive videos, test questions
and 17 weeks of exciting aviation lessons geared toward
furthering that dream and providing the foundation necessary
for successful completion of the FAA Private Pilot Knowledge
Examination. The course also includes an EAA student membership.
