Company Delivers Four Edustation Flight Simulators For Career Education For Schools In British Columbia
STEMPilot Inc. has delivered four Edustation Kiosk Flight Simulators for student career development in British Columbia, Canada with Inventa Inc. executing the mobile career program. The Ministry of Education for the Province of British Columbia has added aviation and engineering careers to their student focus.
The aviation industry is experiencing a severe shortage of qualified pilots providing one of the many meaningful career paths for students. Canada’s major aviation industry requires engineers to support their future manufacturing and design needs. Force CA operates a wide variety of aircraft providing great career training in a variety of aviation and support functions.
British Columbia wants to jump start young students into motion by learning about exciting aviation career opportunities. The edustation flight simulators are designed so students have a three-minute experience flying an actual Bombardier CRJ aircraft flying from Vancouver Sound toward downtown Vancouver.
The Kiosk Flight Simulator verbally instructs the student to control pitch and roll by moving the yoke. The student is coached to fly through boxes in the sky to complete maneuvers climbing 500 feet, descending 500 feet, rolling to the right then rolling to the left and finally flying through a yellow hoop, signifying the end of the mission. If the student successfully passes through each box and the yellow hoop, the simulator celebrates success. The edustation simulator now resets itself awaiting the next student to press the green start button.
