Carol Dodds, General Manager, and the Board of
Directors of e-publishing group, announced the Third Annual Comm1
Aviation Scholarship Program for the 2003-2004 flying season. These
scholarships represent funding to assist young aspiring aviators
with the training required to pursue a career in aviation and to
help defray tuition and flight training expenses. The Annual Comm1
Aviation Scholarship Program is at the core of an ongoing series of
efforts by the developers of Comm1 Radio Simulators to raise
awareness about the importance of pilot communications proficiency
at all levels of flight training.
The total award for the 2003 Comm1 Aviation Scholarship will be
$2,000 and will be distributed in two (2) equal amounts of $1,000
each to two individual scholarship recipients. The recipients will
be selected from a pool of qualified applicants who have met the
published eligibility requirements available on Comm1’s
website. The application closes on September 30th, 2003.
Scholarship awards will be announced at AOPA Expo 2003 in
Philadelphia (PA) on October 30th, 2003.
In addition to demonstrating an interest in
pursuing a career in aviation, scholarship applicants will be asked
to submit a brief 75-word essay that examines the financial and
practical benefits of using interactive radio communications
training as an integrated part of a flight training curriculum.
The Comm1 audio-interactive pilot communications training series
was designed to help pilots overcome “mic fright” and
as a refresher tool for maintaining radio proficiency. Comm1 is
considered “an integral part of any quality flight training
syllabus” by ground and flight instructors at the most
prestigious aviation universities, the US Navy and US Air Force,
and ab initio flight training facilities in throughout the US and
abroad.
Recipients of the last two years’ Comm1
Aviation Scholarships have been pilots from all regions of the US
– New York, California, Nebraska and Alaska – and had
widely varied interests in aviation. One scholarship winner
was a firefighter actively working towards becoming a Certified
Flight Instructor and wanted to teach other firefighters how to
fly; another was a pre-med student who hopes serve the remote
sections of Alaska as a flying physician. The two most recent
recipients aspire to become airline pilots, and all are progressing
steadily through their flight training and ratings and making
significant strides towards their respective aviation
goals.
Since 1998, more than 30,000 pilots and instructors have used
Comm1 interactive CD-ROM products for primary VFR and instrument
communications training.
