The 2022 Aviation Summer Camps were a success! Three two-day camps took place July 11-16 and 108 totals students attended throughout the week. Students took part in learning aircraft instruments, engine and aircraft design, use of the aeronautical maps for navigation, flight planning, weather, NASA space, aviation careers, practicing take offs and landings with a flight simulator, and most importantly, the students will actually assist in flying a real airplane with an FAA Certified Flight Instructor.

Important Update on REAL ID Enforcement

The Department of Homeland Security has announced that REAL ID enforcement will be postponed until May 3, 2023 due to the circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. At that time, standard Kentucky driver’s licenses will no longer be accepted for U.S. commercial air travel, to visit military bases or to visit federal buildings that require ID. Kentuckians will need a form of federally accepted ID to maintain these travel and access benefits. Sign up at realidky.com to get timely REAL ID and regional office updates sent straight to your phone or email.
