2 Hour Presentation (Rough Draft)

(1) What is your sponge activity?

1. I will brief the students on what to do on the ramp, have them go into a pitch-black room, and have them walk around blindly for 5-10 seconds. Then I will turn on the lights and show them that they are actually walking into a ground bordered with mountains. 

2. How it will be done (materials included): I will only need tape for this activity

3. How the activity relates to answer: This example is perfect to show how instrument flight is preformed in clouds and obscured weather.

(2) What do you plan to do and say in the introduction?

Talking about what I do, what I’m involved in and where I plan on going with my schooling, explain what instrument flight is in the simplest context and finish off by my game.

(3) What do you plan to say in your foundation?

Explain how my essential question is related to safety, precision, and continuity of flight. I will explain a bit of the history and why it is necessary to use instruments at times. What IFR is, IMC is, and how they differ from VFR

(4) What will your 2 or 3 answers be for your 2-hour?

1. Precision: I will teach what navigational-aids gives and how hard it is to fly the VOR’s/ NDB’s, especially in the winds.

2.      Safety: I will teach what it means to be safe en route, how a pilot learns safety, how I got my solo privileges, how I preformed for my private pilots license, how I will/have preformed for my instrument rating.

3.      Continuity of flight: I will talk about what it means to fly without an instrument rating, how an instrument rating greatly increases your capability of flight with an instrument rating, and how essential the rating is to advance in aviation industry.

(5) What activities will you do for each answer and why?

Safety: I will play a game called copy that clearance; this is where I will record 3-4 clearances that would most likely be given by ATC. I teaching them how to copy with shorthand will precede this.

Precision: I will TRY to get a simulator on the desktops and get the students to pair in groups of three. I will tell the exactly what to do and show them how hard it is to do.

Continuity of flight: I will throw a bunch of scenarios at the students and see how they would act in the event of it. The FAA sent me a DVD that has a great simulation for private pilots.

(6) How do you plan to conclude your 2-hour?

Private pilots who want to keep flying need to learn safety and precision to advance up to more and intense flight. The instrument rating demands that a private pilot be precise and safe in order to receive the rating. And earning an instrument rating keeps a pilot in the air.

 

(7) How do you plan to decorate the room?

Theme: Cloud cut outs, navigational charts, airplanes hanging from the ceiling,

(8) What supplies/resources will you need to make your 2-hour possible? 

I will need an Elmo, projector with a laptop cable, 9 desktops, paper, blindfolds, timers, and whiteboard markers.
