Loren DeShon shares this update on the recent flight class…
Island students completed eight 3-hour introductory classes at Westwind Aviation over the last two months and the last night all in attendance got to take a flying tour of the islands, landing at Orcas, Roche and Friday Harbor.
The class covered introduction to aerodynamics, navigation, aircraft weather, aircraft systems, FAA flight regulations, maintenance and aircraft performance.
The class was an excellent opportunity to learn about flying and at least one student is already planning to begin work on obtaining the private pilot’s license.
Many thanks to the instructors!
