Students get hands-on experience with real aircraft and flight simulators, culminating in a discovery flight where they log their first aviation flight with a certified instructor.
US Aviation Academy's Aviation Summer Camps offer high school students a unique opportunity to delve into the world of aviation, exploring potential careers as pilots or aircraft mechanics. The camps provide hands-on experience with real aircraft and flight simulators, allowing students to learn about flight controls, basic aerodynamics, and preflight inspections. For those interested in aircraft mechanics, the program introduces aircraft systems, including engines, structures, and avionics, through demonstrations with tools and training equipment. Students gain an understanding of how aircraft are inspected, repaired, and certified, and are exposed to career paths for FAA-certified Airframe & Powerplant mechanics. The camp aims to spark early interest in aviation careers, provide real exposure to the industry, and help students understand career pathways and training timelines.
A typical day involves a mix of ground school, interactive workshops, engaging presentations, and hands-on activities with aircraft and flight simulators.
This camp is ideal for high school students aged 13-18 who are curious about aviation, interested in STEM and technical careers, or aspiring to become pilots or aircraft mechanics.
