The camp offers a unique "team experience" where a student and their parent/guardian receive dedicated one-on-one instruction and hands-on flight time in a Cessna 172.
The Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University "Take Flight" Summer Camp offers an immersive, three-day introductory flight training experience for students aged 9-17, accompanied by a parent or guardian. Participants will engage in hands-on flight time in a Cessna 172 "Skyhawk" aircraft, featuring three distinct flights: a local orientation flight, a cross-country flight to a destination airport, and a night flight over the greater Phoenix area. The program also includes simulated flight sessions in a synthetic reality environment and ground instruction led by FAA Certified Flight Instructors. Educational sessions cover essential aviation topics such as weather, air traffic management, safety analysis, night operations, and cross-country operations. Students will gain practical skills in piloting, flight planning, and understanding aviation regulations, culminating in a logbook certifying their flight instruction, which can be applied towards future aviation career goals.
A typical day involves a combination of ground instruction by an FAA Certified Flight Instructor, simulated flight time, and hands-on flight experience in a Cessna 172 aircraft, covering topics like flight planning and aviation regulations.
This camp is ideal for students aged 9-17 with a parent or guardian who are seriously interested in exploring an aviation career and gaining introductory flight training.
