Backcountry Pilot

Over the years, I have periodically posted about my endeavor to expose and inspire our middle and high school students to aviation at the public school. Over the last five to six years, I have been doing...

Have any of you seen this documentary on Bob Hoover? The local flight school approached me about hosting a screening with my aviation club and anyone else that would want to attend. It looks interesting...

I'm familiar with the post on recommended aviation books but I wanted to possibly narrow that recommendation geared towards middle/high school students. My school wants to have a library in every classroom...

I'm using Dauntless software to study and do practice test. I'm curious what many of you scored on your practice tests before going in to take the actual? I'm taking the AGI in order to be credential to...

I provided an EAA Young Eagle flight for six students from my aviation club at the school I teach at. 127057034 https://www.flyingcalfornia.com https://www.sjvaaviationclub.wordpress.com

Over the last couple of years, I've shared a number of things I have done to incorporate aviation into the classroom and after school aviation club. My school (a public charter) has been very supportive...

I have made some previous posts documenting how I have incorporated aviation in my middle school math class. My school wants me to develop this even more. The first step in developing it even more is holding...

I'm doing some more aviation math problems and am having a hard time finding information on the glide ratio for the Cessna 170B. I saw one reference on the 170 site to 7:1 but thought that it seemed kinda...

Fantastic job Titus ! If you think it would be of value, I have a friend who probably has a set of model plans for a 170, from the ancient Berkeley model kit, or something like that. THANK YOU for...

I had made some post earlier requesting some information about the Cessna 170B for a project I'm doing with my 7th grade math class. Some of you voiced an interest in this project so I figured I would...

Thanks... Good idea about posting on the 170 site. Thanks

I have the length dimension but I'm looking for the width. My students are finishing up building a 1:8 scale wing of the 170B and we need this measurement. I looked through the manual and searched the...

They are excited.... I'll post some pictures as we progress.... I'm really excited about the new common core standards most states are adopting because it encourages this type of approach to teaching....

Thanks for both replies. It's greatly appreciated!

The students in my 7th grade math student will be creating a scale model airfoil of the Cessna 170B. We will probably use them to create the entire wing including the variance in chord dimension near the...
