Enrollment now open for The Aviation Student Training Experience

Students entering grades 5 – 12 in the fall can enroll now for the one-day program, The Aviation Student Training Experience, sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s Summer Camps program and Space Education Initiatives.

This program will be offered 8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Friday, June 25, at the Tailwind Flight Center at Austin Straubel International Airport.

Participants will learn about the basic aerodynamic principles involved in how an aircraft flies, the training needed to become a pilot, and career opportunities in aviation. Facility tours will include the Green Bay control tower and radar center, corporate jet facilities, Tailwind Flight School, and the National Weather Service.

Austin Straubel International Airport is a working airport and no tours are guaranteed until the day of the event. All tours are provided on a contingency basis.

Each participant will also have the opportunity to take a discovery flight in a training aircraft with a FAA Certificated Flight Instructor. Fees are $95 per person, which includes instruction and lunch.

Participants will need to report to the Executive Air Building, at the airport, 2131 Airport Drive, Green Bay.
