Aviation Special Programs

Youth Programs

Several times a year, Aero Safety Training offers programs for children ages 3-14. Programs are  designed to introduce kids to the excitement of flying and aviation. Contact us at least 2 months in advance to arrange a special event like a learn to fly birthday party.

School and Scout Tours

Aero Safety Training can bring aviation to your classroom or scout group meeting.  We also offer tours of the flight school, with an opportunity to see an airplane up close, sit in the cockpit, and fly in the full motion simulator, all under the guidance of a Certified Flight Instructor specially trained to work with young people.

Aviation Explorer
Post #7

Co-ed program for high school students interested in aviation, aerospace and aeronautical science.  The post meets up to twice a month to introduce career opportunities, professional training and aeronautical studies while building leadership skills.

Flying Companion Programs

These seminars make flying more enjoyable for the right seat companion (and for the pilot)! Also known as the Pinch-hitter program, the Flying Companion program is designed to help the non-pilot become more a part of the flying experience.  The course introduces the basics of aerodynamics, avionics, navigation, communication and basic attitude flying.  Non-pilots gain increased knowledge to help them confidently deal with an in-flight emergency.

Fear-Less Flyers

This program is geared towards the person who is an uncomfortable flyer.  You may be unable to board an airplane. Or you may simply be a white-knuckle flyer who needs courage to make it through the flight. Let us show you how to overcome your fears so you can see the world.

Continuing Ed for Pilots

We offer workshops and seminars on topics that range from human factors in flight to how to enter a holding pattern.  Presentations cover weather, aircraft performance, navigation, regulations, aviation safety training and other relevant subjects.

Special Interest Guests

We stock the largest collection of aviation books in the New York area. We host readings, discussions and book signings by aviation authors. Topics interest both pilots and non-pilots.  Check or calendar for upcoming events.

College
Credit Programs

As a Cessna Pilot Center, our students and pilots have an opportunity to earn college credit for flight training through Mountain State College online degree programs.  We also offer flight training for students enrolled in local community colleges.
