Aerospace: The Journey of Flight
Orientation Flights
Orientation flights follow a curriculum that complements and expands upon the first three Aerospace Dimensions modules, giving cadets the opportunity to apply their knowledge to real flight situations. Orientation flights are not simply "airplane rides". Cadets are able to actually fly the airplane under the supervision of an experienced pilot.
