The thrill of flying is achieved through personal accomplishments and comes with unparalleled excitement and freedom with the Cross Country Navigation STEM Kit. Included in the kit are:

• A carry-on bag

• "Pilot Handbook", by Gleim, which has 11 chapters or "study units" on various aviation topics

• "Private Pilot FAA Knowledge Test Prep", by Gleim (practice test questions)

• A New York Sectional Map (dated Oct 5 - Nov 30, 2023)

• 2 plotters

• 2 E6B old-school flight computers

1st Lt Vasudevan will provide hands-on instructions to cadets on the following lessons: 

Lesson 1: Aviation Weather

Lesson 2: Weather Effects on Performance

Lesson 3: Weight and Balance

Lesson 4: Navigation Principles

Lesson 5: Cross-Country Flight Planning

The ultimate goal is to use the plotter, E6B, and map to construct a VFR navlog for a trip between 2 airports in New York.
