Avi8cando is an aviation community advisory and new development organization
and a California nonprofit public benefit corporation.
Avi8ando is much more than learning to fly. One of our major goals is to learn
what the needs of our county airports are and how we can work together to fill
those needs.
Avi8cando is a non-profit 50l(c)3 corp. and has as its mission the promotion
of all avenues of aviation and supporting the education of students in school.
Some of Avi8CanDo's goals are: Operate and oversee the youth Falcons program
to all students in school ages 12 to 19 years old. Each student accepted into
the program will sign a contract counter-signed by their parents, promising
to remain in school and maintain at least a "C" grade in all subjects. No use
of alcohol, drugs, tobacco or involvement in any gang activities will be permitted.
The student will attend a monthly meeting with guest speakers and workshops
that will involve learning about career opportunities in aviation as well as
how a pilot's certificate can help in other careers, and how subjects in school
relate directly to these careers. Each month there will be study assignments to
support skills in reading, writing and math. Each student will complete a flight
in an airplane monthly. During the flight the pilot will review with the student
the subjects discussed in the classroom.
In addition to the above, students 15 1/2 and older will be enrolled in a FAA
certified private ground school. At the completion of the course and the passing
of the written FAA exam, the student will be enrolled in a standardized flight
training program to earn the private pilot certificate. The cost will be partially
if not mostly funded by Avi8Cando.
