REQUIREMENTS FOR BOTH COURSES

Students must:
* be between the ages of 14 and 18, and have an interest in becoming a pilot
* be able to attend all 6/3 sessions
* have their own transportation to and from the Museum, transportation will not be provided
* not have any physical limitations that will prevent safely entering and exiting the simulators

Class Attire
Uniform requirement for this course for the last day of class, is the dress uniform for JROTC and CAP organizations; a class photo will be taken.  For other Youth Organizations, the equivalent dress uniform is appropriate.  All other training days, and for those not in one of these organizations, their clothing needs to be clean, tidy, and “school” appropriate.

Registration
The first 6 qualified respondents will be placed in each class.  An additional 2 students will be placed on a waiting list.  However, because the curriculum builds on the previous class session(s), once class starts, the waiting list goes away.

To register, send an email with the subject line “Introduction to Becoming a Pilot” to NMUSAF.MUT.IntroPilot@us.af.mil. 
Please include:
     1) Student’s Name 
     2) Class Number for requested class
     3) Student's Age
     4) Name of a parent or guardian
     5) Email Address
     6) Phone Number
     7) Student's City and State (not house number or street)
         This information will be used to "pin" the participant's location on a map in the Intro to Pilot classroom. The map is a visual representation of the locations that students travel from to participate in this class. No name or other identifying information will be associated with the pin. 

Final Confirmation
Registered students will receive an email 2 weeks prior to start of class requesting final confirmation of their attendance.  If a reply confirming attendance is not received within 7 days (1 week prior to the first day of class), the spot will be forfeited and offered to waitlist students.
*If you are a registered student and do not receive an email within 2 weeks of class, please reach out to us at NMUSAF.MUT.IntroPilot@us.af.mil

Arrival to Each Class
​Please allow for approximately 10 minutes for entry of the Museum and walking to the classroom. Each session will consist of approximately 45 minutes - 1 hour of ground school, with the remaining time spent on the simulators applying newly learned concepts. During the simulated flight time, each student will receive one-on-one instruction from a current or former military, commercial or private pilot, or a flight simulation expert (based on the availability of the instructors).

ORGANIZATIONS

If you are a JROTC, CAP, or other youth organization that wishes to schedule 6 students for a specific class, please identify this in your email.  For groups, please e-mail your request at least a month in advance.
