GovState's aviation courses taking people to new heights
GovState offers courses to high school students and older
Soaring to new heights isn’t limited to high school graduates with Governors State University’s (GovState) aviation courses.
From planes to drones, anyone 16 years and older with a passion for flight can register for a course to learn how to operate their choice of aircraft.
Partnering with D14 Aviation, GovState's School of Extended Learning (SXL) now offers pilot training with a “start anytime” option. This means aspiring pilots can enroll for flight training on their schedule, which can be beneficial for those still in high school looking to get started on this training while still in school.
There’s more to the course than flight time. Students are introduced to the foundational knowledge of safe and effective piloting, covering topics ranging from aerodynamics, communications procedures, weather, navigation, and more.
One high school student, Miguel, has discovered a new-found appreciation for piloting, something he realized while flying with GovState’s program. Click here to read his story.
On the other side of aviation, GovState also offers drone courses, with sessions scheduled for this fall. Open to those with or without experience flying drones, the courses cover basic flight controls to tips to get the best photos and footage.
