About Falcon AeroLab

Instructors are highly qualified professionals straight from the industry. These include engineers, managers, military and airline pilots, drone operators, cyber experts, and more. Their cumulative experience and expertise give students extraordinary insight.

Students can attend weekly live-streamed classes or access recorded sessions for a self-paced option. Fundamentals of Aerospace live-streamed classes are on Wednesday 4:30-7:00 pm. Introduction to Aviation live-streamed classes are on Thursday 4:30-7:00 pm.

Falcon AeroLab courses are recommended for middle school and high school students ages 12-18. The FAA Private Pilot License written exam results are good for 2 years. Please note that students interested in a private pilot license must be 17 years old in order to complete that exam, so it is not recommended to take the FAA exam at 14 years old (exam results will be good until they are 16).

Note: There is currently no demo available for this program.

FAQ:

Q: How does the flight experience with Falcon AeroLab work?
