Extended time may be offered on a case-by-case basis at the teachers’ discretion. Students are encouraged to advocate for themselves if they feel they need additional time on assignments or assessments. After the unit test, all zeros recorded in the grade book during that unit will become permanent. Students will have until the unit test which occurs at the end of each unit to make up work they missed during that unit of study. An item of late coursework may still be turned in for a grade, but the grade will automatically have 20% taken off. If the allowable time period to make up the work has passed, the zero will become a permanent grade. This zero will be accompanied in the grade book with a “missing” marker so that the reason for the zero is evident. If coursework is not turned in on time, a zero will be recorded in the grade book until the work is submitted. It is the student’s responsibility to meet with the teacher to determine a plan of action to deal with missing work. Communication will occur frequently between teachers, students, and their parent/guardian concerning missing work. WMAA is committed to providing opportunities for students to show mastery of academic standards. West Michigan Aviation Academy Grading Scale The final semester grade will be used in determining a student’s grade point average (GPA). The formative (homework, in class work, small assignments, etc.) semester course work will comprise 20% of the final semester grade the summative (tests, quizzes, labs, etc.) semester coursework will comprise 60% of the final semester grade the cumulative semester exam will comprise 20% of the final semester grade. Students will earn a final grade each semester based on mastery of the course objectives. Students will each be assigned an individual textbook and are responsible for its condition upon return at the end of the school year. Introduction to Aviation will be using the following textbook:ĪEROSPACE: The Journey of Flight, 2 nd Edition Analyze the impact of aviation on modern 20 th Century society and beyond. Compare careers in aviation and the sources of information on those careers.ġ0. Conduct basic flight maneuvers and cross-country flights through the use of desktop flight simulation.ĩ. Apply the basic principles of navigation, aeronautical chart interpretation, and airport symbology.Ĩ. Interpret basic weather principles and their impact of aviation operations.ħ. Summarize the basic principles of flight.Ħ. Recall basic aircraft systems, instruments, and components of a conventional airplane.ĥ. Describe the aviation industry structure, including the role of air carriers, general aviation, and corporate aviation.Ĥ. Define common aviation terminology, definitions, and acronyms.ģ. Identify significant historical aviation milestones to include both aviation icon figures and individual aircraft recognition.Ģ.
The class will end with a study of space travel and the unique challenges involved operating in the vacuum of space for both manned and unmanned operations.īy the end of this course, WMAA students will have experience in the following topics:ġ. This will be followed by more specific issues such as aviation weather and the threats weather pose to flight activities as well as a technological look at just what makes them fly and how they are propelled and controlled and how they get from point A to point B.
The students will be expected to recognize the differences between aircraft and identify them by sight. airports, aviation organizations, and types of aircraft. The students will next learn about the infrastructure supporting aviation, i.e. The course will begin with a history of flight followed by a study of the atmospheric mediums in which aircraft/spacecraft of all types operate. The Introduction to Aviation course is designed to give the student a solid foundation in understanding where aviation came from starting from the earliest myths and legends through actual developments in flight systems and ultimately to a vision to where aviation may lead us.
