The camp offers two distinct options, including one with an optional real Cessna 172 flight, providing a unique blend of simulator and actual flight experience for young aspiring aviators.
OC Flight Lessons Aviation Camp offers an immersive 3-day experience for students aged 8-16, focusing on fundamental aviation principles and practical flying skills. Under the guidance of FAA-certified instructors, campers delve into aerodynamics through engaging ground school sessions. They apply this knowledge in Redbird flight simulators, which log time towards a private pilot's license. A highlight of the camp is a field trip to the Lyon Air Museum, providing an up-close look at classic aircraft, followed by a tour of a real Cessna 172 on the tarmac. The curriculum also covers essential pilot skills such as flight planning, aviation weather, and basic aircraft systems. The camp culminates in a graduation ceremony, where students demonstrate their simulator skills by attempting to land a Cessna on an aircraft carrier. An optional real Cessna 172 flight is available for an additional cost, offering a unique opportunity for hands-on flight experience.
A typical day involves ground school instruction on aerodynamics and aviation topics, followed by hands-on application in Redbird flight simulators.
This camp is ideal for students aged 8-16 with a keen interest in aviation, looking for an introductory yet comprehensive experience in flying and aircraft mechanics.
