Textbook readings and presentations

Course Requirements Checklist

After reading the Syllabus and Student Expectations, the student will complete the related checklist found in the Course Overview.

Discussion: Class Introductions

Students must submit a 2–3 minute video introduction. Students may use a multi-media platform of choice to record your video. However, Kaltura is recommended. Specific elements stated within the discussion prompt must be included. This will be a graded assignment. Students must also reply to at least 2 classmates' introductions. Each reply must contain at least 150 words, including a question or a relevant follow-up response to guide the discussion.

Discussions (2)

Discussions are collaborative learning experiences. Therefore, the student is required to create a thread in response to the provided prompt for each discussion. These are intended to be scholarly dialogues supported assertions with proper scholarly support. Each thread must be at least 400-500 words, demonstrate course-related knowledge, and include at least 2 scholarly sources in APA format with sources listed as References at the end of the post. In addition to the thread, the student is required to reply to the threads of at least 2 classmates. Each reply must be at least 250 words. (CLO: A-D)

As the student progresses through their Flight Training Syllabus at their Flight Training Affiliate, it is very important that the student stays on pace to complete the “Percent of TCO” requirement before the end of the course. To help the student stay fully aware of their own progress and to keep the professor informed, the student will upload the “Percent of TCO Form” verifying “percent of TCO” progress halfway through the course, and before the final module of the course. This form will provide crucial information exchanged between all stakeholders (professor, student, and flight instructor/ FTA).

Flight Scenario Presentation Assignment

The purpose of this assignment is to prepare a visual and audio briefing/presentation regarding a provided flight scenario to include applicable references from this course. The visual briefing/presentation must include a 4-6 minute recorded Narrated PowerPoint presentation thoroughly covering all necessary key elements. Within the presentation, you must include and cite from appropriate aviation resources. A minimum of 2 sources, APA formatted, is required. (CLO: A-D)

Private Pilot Certificate Submission Assignment

In order to pass this class, the student must complete their Private Pilot training at an approved Part 141 Flight Training Affiliate (FTA). Once complete, the student must submit a Part 141 Graduation Certificate and either a copy of the FAA Private Pilot Certificate (front and back), or Temporary FAA Private Pilot Certificate if applicable. (CLO: A-D)

Personal Reflection Assignment

The student will write a 2-3 page paper (not including title and references) reflecting on their flight training experience. This experience includes both the academic work completed as well as the % of TCO completed during flight training at the FTA.

Quiz: FTA Student Handbook Acknowledgment

The FTA Student Handbook provides essential information and requirements for the successful completion of your flight training program. This quiz will ask you to acknowledge that you have read the FTA Student Handbook provided to you in the SOA Flight Student Community (see Explore item in Module 1 for link) as well as any and all information provided to you within the Liberty University ATLAS website.

Quiz: Flight Course Logs (2)

As the student progresses through Flight Training Syllabus at their Flight Training Affiliate, it is very important that the student stays on pace to complete the course requirements before the end of the term. To help the student stay fully aware of their own progress and to keep the professor informed, the student will submit a Flight Course Log Quiz. This is the student’s opportunity to keep a journal of their flight training experience and it will serve as a means for the professor to understand how things are going in flight training.
