YOUNG AVIATORS
For ages 6-8
Our programme designed for kids aged 6-8.
We use real world aviation related examples to educate children through STEM. Our instructors have many years and thousands of flying hours behind them and with their industry knowledge and expertise we make learning fun and relevant.
Topics covered include:
-
Aerodynamics
-
How aircraft fly
-
Introduction to aircraft systems
-
Day in the life of a pilot
For young aviators we offer a special chance to take to the virtual skies in a realistic simulator of the modern Airbus A321neo jet. Brand new, state of the art simulator with realism so advanced it is used by real world pilots for training.
