Cadets receive personalized introductory flight instruction from Certified Flight Instructors and gain exposure to aviation professionals, providing a solid foundation for a future in aviation.
The Civil Air Patrol NFA-NJ Wing Falcon Flight Powered Academy is an introductory flight training activity designed for cadets interested in aviation careers. Participants receive 10-15 hours of flight instruction from a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), covering fundamental maneuvers such as straight and level flight, turns, climbs, descents, landings, slow flight, stalls (approach/landing and takeoff/departure), emergency procedures, ground reference maneuvers, and forward slips. The program also includes a week of ground school focused on the Principles of Flight, FAA regulations, and safe flight operations. Cadets gain practical experience in the cockpit and work with aviation professionals, both civilian and military, who provide insights into preparing for a career as an aviator. This academy serves as a foundational step towards obtaining a private pilot certificate and can contribute to the Cadet Wings program's requirements.
A typical day involves a combination of ground school instruction covering principles of flight and FAA regulations, followed by hands-on flight instruction in an aircraft with a Certified Flight Instructor, practicing fundamental maneuvers and emergency procedures.
This academy is ideal for cadets aged 16 and above with 10 hours or less of logged flight time who are interested in pursuing a career as a pilot and are looking for an introductory flight training experience.
