{Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University} Aviation Voyage Camp
This program was developed for students ages 12-18. Students will have an opportunity to apply the lessons learned from Flight Exploration to procedures such as flight planning and preflighting the aircraft. Students are required to bring their logbook from Flight Exploration with them to continue recording their flight hours. All Aviation Voyage students must obtain an FAA Medical prior to submitting an application.
{Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University} Flight Exploration Camp (AZ)
ERAU’s pre-college Flight Exploration is one of our most popular programs and offers a wide range of opportunities for students wishing to pursue a career in aviation. Flight instructors and professors from our School of Aviation work alongside students to perfect the skills a pilot needs to operate successfully in the national airspace system. Students will learn how to plan and conduct a cross country flight, identify weather sources used for flight planning, and what to expect from air traffic controllers during flight. The academic classes will encompass ground school, ATC airspace, Unmanned Aircraft Systems Lab (UAS), as well as pilot knowledge of aerodynamics, time, speed, distance, fuel usage computations, and the basics of route planning. The program will also focus on a “capstone” cross-country flight. When students earn their “wings” at the end of the program, it will be a result of student efforts during the week, and a model of the skills needed to be a pilot. Students will be flying during day and evening hours, and are required to wear closed toed shoes and long pants during their flight times. We will host a graduation lunch on the last day of the program, which parents/families are welcome and encouraged to attend.
{Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University} Flight Exploration Camp (FL)
Developed for students, ages 12-18, Flight Exploration is an introduction to flying and flight training. Students practice flight maneuvers and experience firsthand how the plane responds to the flight controls. This hands-on practical experience will allow students to record flight time while exploring their potential career paths. All Flight Exploration students must obtain an FAA Medical prior to submitting an application. Any student in our Flight Exploration Camp is required to provide TSA approved documentation. This means a valid passport, or driver’s license AND original birth certificate.
{Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University} Helicopter Exploration
This academic program is for students who are serious about learning all aspects of helicopter flight. The flight instructors are some of the best in the aviation industry and will give students firsthand training on pre-flight, helicopter care, ground school, ATC airspace, aviation weather, safety science, and careers in helicopter. Throughout three hours of flight training, students will take control and experience the adrenaline rush of breaking contact with the ground to soar over the northern Arizona landscape. The open cockpit feeling of the Robinson R22 helicopter provides the pilots with an amazing, connected feeling with the skies above. During their time at ERAU students pilots will be able to control a helicopter in flight, but more importantly, will be exposed to the way of life for true aviation professionals under the leadership of the best.
{Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University} Next Level Flight
Have you already attended one of our Flight Exploration Summer Programs? Then Next Level Flight is for you! This pre-college program explores the more advanced world of aviation and flight training at Embry-Riddle. The culmination of this week-long program includes ground lessons, simulator flights, and a refresher flight in our Cessna 172 aircraft, trainings in our DA42 Simulator, and a flight in our multi-engine Diamond DA 42 aircraft over the Grand Canyon. Students’ academic classes will build upon the knowledge they gamines in Flight Exploration with a focus in the Garmin G1000 and the DA42 aircraft systems. Students are required to wear to wear shirts with sleeves, long pants, and close toes shoes during their flight times.
