  3. Roadmap • Notre Dame Pilot Initiative • Principles of Flight • Syllabus / Policies • Private Pilot License • Airplane Recognition

  4. Notre Dame Pilot Initiative • NDPI is a student led effort intended to bring aviation back to the University of Notre Dame. • Our mission is to teach the science of flight, inspire the art, and produce aviation candidates for the military and civilian communities. • Mutual support network for both student pilots learning to fly and licensed pilots working on advanced ratings and certificates.

  5. Principles of Flight • Intro to Principles of Flight • Aerospace Science 30098 • The course curriculum was put together by NDPI and is all open-source • Advanced Ground School

  6. Want to graduate? • Check with your dean • Make sure AS30098 counts towards graduation

  7. What this course is not?

  8. Syllabus / Policies • Intro to Principles of Flight • AS30098 – Spring 2006 • Professor: Col. Mike Zenk, USAF • Chief Instructor: Lauren Centioli, CFI-I • Website: www.nd.edu/~ndpi • Email: ndpi@nd.edu

  15. VFR / IFR ??? • VFR – Visual Flight Rules • What you will be initially • Limited to good visibility conditions, clear of clouds • See and avoid • IFR – Instrument Flight Rules • Instrument Rating • Air Traffic Control • Can fly in zero-visibility • Fly “Highways in the Skies” • Not carte-blanche
