Woodinville High School – Vat400a/B– Aviation: Introduction to Flight

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Demand for aviation talent is high, and this course gives young men and women, without any prior experience, the opportunity to explore the world of aviation. Topics include aerodynamics, careers, charts, flight planning, history of aviation and space technology, navigation, piloting and propulsion systems. Each student has access to Lockheed-Martin Prepar3D® flight simulation systems, used to master a variety of aviation skills. This remarkable simulation technology allows our students to “fly” a variety of aircraft, including jets, in any weather condition, to any airport in the world, using sophisticated electronic navigation techniques. At least one field trip to an aviation related organization (such as the Boeing Museum of Flight) is typically included. All students participate in the King Schools ground school video curriculum as an integral part of this course. This widely acclaimed course is intended to prepare students to pass their FAA Private Pilot written exam!
