What is it like to fly without an engine? What natural forces keep an airplane in the air?: Answers to these and other questions will be available from Thursday, March 24, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Sportgemeinschaft Aero Salzgitter.
The course teaches the basics of aerodynamics and aviation meteorology. Participants will learn how the aircraft instruments and controls work and, after the theory, experience what flying feels like: taking off in a two-seater with a flight instructor!
