ACTIVITY:
Go to the App/Play Store and download the app "Coordinates - GPS Formatter"
Discuss PPT 1.3.4 Air Traffic Control then complete Activity 1.3.4 Air Traffic Control Simulation
HW:
Complete Conclusion Questions.
ACTIVITY:
Create Waypoints for a path around the AHS Campus using the Coordinates App or Google Earth App.
Go outside and draw a map of an area to create a Flight Plan. Then locate at least 10 waypoints along your selected route.
Groups will switch Flight Plans and test how well they can complete the others Flight Plan.
HW:
ACTIVITY:
Export your waypoints as a .kml file and upload them to Google Earth.
Obtain the Lat and Long coordinates for each of your waypoints and a heading to travel from one to the next. Record this information on another sheet and give it to a group to "fly your route".
Groups will switch Flight Plans and test how well they can complete the others Flight Plan.

ACTIVITY:
Finish Activity 1.3.6 GPS Route Planning
Fill out all the points you went to on the Navigational Waypoints chart and attach a photo of the prominent marker you found at each location.
Go to Google Earth and plot a path of the waypoints you found.
Now that you know how to use latitude and longitude coordinates, create a flight plan by marking out 8 locations using Google Earth.
Share your waypoints with another student and have him or her create a flight plan of your destinations with the shortest and presumably, most efficient route.

Complete Activity 2.1.2 Frame Generator Introduction
This is a tutorial where you will learn how to create a frame out of various structural members. Frame construction is used throughout the aerospace industry in the creation of welded steel-tube fuselages, piston-engine motor mounts, ribs, and landing gear. In this activity, you will gain understanding of the frame generator function in the Autodesk® Inventor® software.
Complete Activity 2.1.3 Frame Generator Analysis
This is a tutorial where you will analyze how forces are transmitted through an aircraft frame. Frame construction is used throughout the aerospace industry in the creation of welded steel-tube fuselages, piston-engine motor mounts, ribs, and landing gear. In this activity, you will gain understanding of the frame analysis built into Autodesk® Inventor® software.

ACTIVITY:
If you did not finish Activity 2.1.2 Frame Generator Introduction and Activity 2.1.3 Frame Generator Analysis, do that today in class.
When finished begin Activity 2.1.4 Frame Design of Engine Mount. Try doing this activity on your own from what you learned by completing the tutorials in yesterday's activities. If you get stuck, ask Mr. Tackett for help, or you can try using this tutorial to help you get unstuck. This tutorial doesn't show you everything or use the correct load magnitudes, but it will get you over the hump if you are stuck.
