The Aviation Club at UVA is designed to expose students to concepts of flight, facilitate the use of the Aerospace Engineering Flight Simulator, and provide aspiring student pilots with resources and knowledge to succeed. The club is made to inform students about local aviation events such as airshows and flight education events, as well as to host guest speakers in the aviation field. A student taught class during the Spring semester will equip students with all the necessary ground knowledge to become a private pilot and students can be endorsed at the end of the semester to take their private pilot knowledge test. It is a new club, and there are a lot of ideas developing of what else the club can do, such as building a real-life kit plane and restoring vintage aircraft at Charlottesville Airport.
