Introducing Junior Individualized Flight Training (J-IFT) Summer Program – Our newly designed former Expo Flight camp.The J-IFT Summer Program is a hands-on, personalized, and individually focused 5-day immersion to aviation for students ages 14-18. Created to match the collegiate flight training environment – dedicated personalized instructor assigned to no more than 2 students – it is the most realistic experience in terms of how flight training “really works”. Designed to inspire the next generation of aviators, this program combines live flight training, simulator sessions, and expert ground instruction on a finely tuned extract of the key elements contained in the FAA Private Pilot Airman Certification Standards.
Program Highlights
- Flight Training:Scheduled flights operating a Cessna 172 “Skyhawk” equipped with Garmin G1000 advanced avionics, alongside a FAA Certified Flight Instructor. These flights will be comprised of three flights, including a cross-country flight to Payson, AZ and will teach students airport pattern work, maneuvers, take-offs, and landings. All flight hours are logbook certified and count toward future aviation goals and future flight certification.
- Simulator Training:Scheduled flights operating our Advanced Aviation Training Devices (AATD), which are state-of-the-art fixed and full-motion flight simulators, also under the guidance of a FAA Certified Flight Instructor. These hours are logbook certified and can be applied to future flight certification.
