Students experience the joy of flight firsthand through orientation flights in real aircraft and have the unique opportunity to meet and interact with aviation professionals.
The OBAP ACE Academy - NYC is a multi-day program designed to immerse middle and high school students in the world of aviation and aerospace. Participants gain hands-on experience through activities such as taking an orientation flight in a Cessna or Piper aircraft and flying a full-motion flight simulator when available. The curriculum introduces students to aviation history, the fundamentals of aerodynamics, and the role of government in the aviation industry. Students also explore diverse aerospace career opportunities by meeting aviation professionals and participating in field trips to various aviation facilities and educational institutions. The program aims to help students understand the practical application of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) subjects, fostering an appreciation for education's relevance to aerospace careers. Through these experiences, students develop leadership qualities and gain a broader perspective on potential career paths in the aerospace field.
A typical day begins at 8 AM with breakfast at the FAA building, where academy attendees meet directors and volunteers before engaging in a variety of aviation-related activities and field trips.
