Science Eureka
The sabbatical was very interesting, going out of our learning scope, yet being related to our studies. The five day programme was packed with interesting experiments, as well as having some small competition at intervals, to encourage us to do better. At the end, there was a small quiz, and a presentation on a topic selected at the start of the sabbatical. The presentation encouraged us to find out more about science.
Basic and Advanced Aviation Science
The Basic program introduced the foundation principles of flight, like lift, drag and so on. It also entailed short flight simulations, as well as a mass dogfight at the end. The Advanced program went into the in-depth avionics of the F-16, one of the best fighter planes in the world. Then, we got a chance to fly a simulation of the F-16. There was also a task where we had to start up the engine from scratch. After that, there was also a lab session where we got a chance to build our own glider. These programs allowed me to indulge my passion for flying, especially the simulation, and the glider making. From the theory sessions, I was able to understand more about how planes fly. And from the gilder making, I was able to reinforce it and put it into practice.
