Learning Outcomes
Understand the operation of an airport, aerodynamic and principle of flight of airplanes, weather observation and application, enhance their confidence by successfully flying an airplane, inspire their interest in science and knowledge facilitating ecology studies.
Learning Content & Activities
Introduction of weather observation using different equipment. Understand the importance of those data and how they can assist pilots in operating close to an airport.
The science behind an airplane and the aerodynamics of different wing designs. Different control surfaces on the airplane and the controls in the cockpit.
