Overview
AeroScholars consist of two online aviation high school courses. These courses are not simply textbooks on the Internet. They are based on lectures that have been proven over years of instruction. Companioned with educational video, 3D animations, interactive questions, and other multimedia learning tools, these courses emphasis the important questions, concepts, and principles that will help students excel. The courses correlate to NSTA National Science Standards and many high school provide high school graduation credit to Aeroscholar students in addition to the earned university credits. A link to these standards is provided for each course. As students develop a love for aviation they often show dramatic improvements in math and science as they apply these principles to the exciting world of aviation...
“These are the best online courses I’ve ever seen.”
Fundamentals of Aviation ScienceFundamentals of Aviation Science is designed for students of all backgrounds. They may have some familiarity with aircraft and aviation or perhaps they have only seen aircraft flying overhead. The course is designed to encourage interest and appreciation for aviation. The course will explore the history of flight and uncover the mysteries of airplane and helicopter flight and the basics of aerodynamics. Students will learn about the evolution of aircraft and their designs, engines, instruments, and aircraft systems. Meteorology, air traffic control, and variety of aviation and aerospace career options are also covered. The course includes significant historical events in aviation and aerospace development as well as a look at modern technology and industry progress. Students will learn aerospace terminology, government and industry roles in aviation and applicable regulations. The course includes a Young Eagles flight, airport tour, virtual museum tour and an EAA student membership.
Advanced Aviation Science: Private PilotAdvanced 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 have dreamt 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 comprehensive video, interactive questions, online lessons and the FAA publication, The Private Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. Successful completion of the course provides four hours of university 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. “This online aviation high school course |
