Troop 67 in Santa Monica is hosting an Aviation Merit Badge Day at Justice Aviation at Santa Monica Airport. Sponsors include Youth Aviation Adventure, Friends of Santa Monica Airport, Justice Aviation, Kim Davidson Aviation, Santa Monica Aviation, FUMC of Santa Monica, and the City of Santa Monica.
Attendees will learn to:
- Define "aircraft"
- Point to a model airplane and describe the forces acting on it
- Explain how an airfoil generates lift
- Demonstrate how the control surfaces are used for maneuvering the aircraft
- Explain recreational, private, and commercial licenses
- Perform a pre-flight inspection
- Learn about aeronautical charts
- Build a FPG-9 glider
- Understand how runways are numbered
- Learn about Santa Monica Airport
This is a high quality program, taught by pilots using real airplanes and helicopters.
Space is very limited, so interested Scouts (and/or adults) need to act quickly.
