Presentation
Are you curious to know how planes fly, how to become a pilot or aeronautical engineer, and what lies behind the fascinating world of aviation? Aimed at young people from 13 years old, this course offers a first immersion in the aeronautical world.
Through activities aligned with the curriculum of the French Aeronautical Initiation Certificate (BIA) and presented progressively, participants will discover the fundamental principles of aviation as well as the scientific and technical bases of flight.
Led by Jean-Roch PUIG, holder of the Certificate of Aptitude for Aeronautical Instruction (CAEA), awarded by CIRAS and the French Ministry of National Education.
The program includes:
Introduction and History
- The beginnings and rise of aviation up to 1945
- Modern aviation and space exploration
Meteorology
- Temperature, pressure, and clouds
- Precipitation and hazardous phenomena
Aircraft Overview
- Structures and engines
- Flight instruments
Aerodynamics
- Principles of flight
- Forces in stabilized and space flight
Navigation
- Navigation tools and best practices
The main objective of this course is to give young people the initial tools to understand the world of aviation and spark their interest in potentially preparing for the Basic Aeronautical Certificate (BIA) in the future.
No prior knowledge is required: only curiosity and a desire to learn matter!
