Project Overview
You may be able to
navigate the roads, but can you navigate the skies? There are no signs to
point you in the right direction. How do pilots find their way? Learn the
principles of aviation navigation in this real time data project!
After completing a number of
pilot training lessons in which students learn how to use vectors, read real
time weather maps, and track real planes flying in U.S. skies, students then put
their knowledge to the test by taking the Pilot Test Flight. Here they will
solve an authentic real world problem using science and mathematics.
