Frasca, Alpha Eta Rho, Sporty’s Sponsor Simulation Flights At AirVenture

Cessna 172 FTD Located In The Quad Area

Frasca International has partnered with the Alpha Eta Rho (AHP) Aviation fraternity to provide free simulator flights during AirVenture this week. The Frasca Cessna 172 Flight Training Device (FTD) will be housed in a trailer and located in the Quad area. Alpha Eta Rho will provide volunteers from their fraternity to assist new and experienced pilots on a simulated flight.

First time pilots will be given a free logbook (sponsored by Frasca and Sporty’s Academy) to encourage them to continue their flight training. The logbooks Sporty's provides will be a reminder of the pilot experience, each future pilot will go home with their own logbook to add to the simulator experience.

"Alpha Eta Rho is honored to be partnering with Frasca International and Sporty's to promote aviation education, training and safety to the next generation of aspiring aviators at AirVenture 2015," said Anthony Johnson, National Executive Director of Alpha Eta Rho. "We encourage anyone interested in learning to fly to visit College Park and fly the Frasca - Cessna 172 Simulator with a Certified Flight Instructor from Alpha Eta Rho."
 
“Frasca was founded as a grass roots aviation company," said John Frasca, President of Frasca International. "Rudy Frasca started the company with a passion for flying and a goal of building the best simulators in order to train pilots better. We take a great interest in the future of aviation and our goal of providing the best simulators available to train safer pilots is still our mission.” The family owned business employs several active pilots and has participated at Oshkosh for over 40 years; as air show performers, by displaying their collection of Warbirds and as corporate exhibitors. In addition to their presence in the Quad and the Education Career Center.
