Programs
Our classes offer integrated aviation programming that exceeds the State of
Michigan's K-12 Grade Level Content Expectations for science and math, as well
Students gain knowledge and skills required for construction, restoration,
maintenance of aircraft, Principles of flight Science, Meteorology, Interpreting
Weather Data, Flight Planning and Decision Making, Airport operations, Aero
Modeling projects, and field trips to air and space museums.
works to bridge the gap with innovation, using aviation to motivate and inspire
the student’s interest in Math and Science with practical applications found in
aviation for those subjects. These programs support the national objective of
motivating youth in aviation and aerospace careers.
Elementary School Program: Provides the opportunity for WMFA
professionals to share their technical expertise and unique perspective with
students and teachers in school. Together with teachers, WMFA creates a
curriculum-based aviation program. These experiences include model aircraft
building, flight simulations, phonics with aviation and aerospace, introduction to
radio control airplanes, and class projects. Part of this program takes place after
school as part of the "Young Aviators Club" (YAC) after school program.
Middle School YAC Program: This group is given introductory flights in an
airplane, time on flight simulator, basic ground school, model aircraft building,
flight simulations, building, engineering and flying radio control airplanes.
High School YAC Program: WMFA provides an atmosphere for students to
become totally immersed in the fantastic world of flight. Ground instruction and
flight experiences highlight this innovative program. It provides the student with
real flight time in an aircraft and hands on experiences on the ground. This
program is dedicated to the juniors and seniors who are actively preparing for
the FAA private pilot written and practical exams. Focused preparations for the
exams are conducted utilizing King Schools and Jeppssen Part 141 course
materials, DVD and computer based assessment tools.
