NAFI
Provides Kids’ First Flight Instruction
Kids can also move beyond
video games and into actual flight-simulator training at KidVenture by
receiving flight training from members of the National Association of
Flight Instructors (NAFI). They will provide the actual flight
instruction on an On Top Basic Aviation Training Device (ATD) simulator
provided by Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA).
Young visitors to the
"My First Logbook" booth will receive an endorsement from an
FAA-certificated flight instructor for the time logged on the training
device that counts towards their Private Pilot airplane certificate. The
instruction provided will cover introduction to the "basic
six" instruments, how a pilot reads these instruments, and flight
with reference to those instruments only.
ASA "Training Starts
Here!" will also provide each visitor with a logbook to begin their
flight training experience, and a summary of the lesson they complete at
the booth. These will provide memories of their first instructional
experience at EAA AirVenture 2006 for years to come.
ASA has also donated the ATD for a silent
auction, proceeds of which will be donated to the EAA.
