probably before the end of the first
semester. At the end of the course
the student must pass an official
examination in order to qualify for
a private pilot's certificate of com-
petency.
Initiating the course will be two
hours of insruction in the History of
Aviation, including descriptions of
the first legendary efforts at flight,
the development of early types of
balloons and gliders and finally the
development of motor-driven craft.
Proper behavior in the air is
stressed during the 12 hours of in-
struction which will be devoted to
civil air regulations-the rules of
air traffic and the privileges and
limitations of pilots.
Blind Flying Stressed
No less important to the pilot is the
ability to find his way on long flight's
or in fogs that require instrument
flying. In the 15 hours spent on navi-
gation the student wild be introduced
to maps and charts, the compass
and its errors. An additional five
hours will be used in the study of
aviation instruments to acquaint the
fledgeling with the functions of the
control panel.
Meteorology, of the fine art of
weather forecasting, will receive 15
hours of attention. Weather maps
will be explored, cloud formations
analyzed and the general principles
of weather changes and climate out-
lined.
Only one hour (but probably one
that students will not want to miss)
will be devoted to parachutes--their
theory, construction, types, acer and,
most essential, use.
