AVIATION—IN THE KNOW

In this session, Explorers will participate in an overall program review in the form of a game. Use it to add fun to the end of your program.

ADVANCED: AERODYNAMICS

In this session, participants will examine aerodynamics principles in a more generalized, deeper way. This activity is intended as a follow-up to the introductory lesson and discusses the principles that interact during flight.

AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER TOUR

This session helps Explorers understand how air traffic control operates.

ADVANCED: PREFLIGHT

In this session, participants will explore more deeply the physics, meteorology, philosophy, planning, and preparation that must go into each flight. While the introductory preflight inspection focuses primarily on the airplane and its systems, this session emphasizes a broader view of all the factors that make up a successful, safe flight.
