Introduction

Aviation Standards

The CTE-S (AER) Aviation Standards course in Learnbps is Bismarck Public School District's current progress on prioritizing and deconstructing standards to provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn. The standards are designed to provide guidance so teachers and parents know what they need to do to help students. Plus help students reflect on the knowledge and skills that they need for success.

Identifier Explanation

AER-HS.5._2.03

The Bismarck Public School District Standards-Based Progress Report displays grades at the concept level. Therefore Bismarck Public School District has modified the North Dakota DPI Identifiers to fit into our student information system PowerSchool for Standards-Based grading. Above is a CTE-Standards AER identifier with smaller muted text showing the addition  to the identifier that are the components that BPS adds to the State code.

Courses

Welcome to Aviation Class!

I look forward to having your (son/daughter) in class this year. We will be doing many exciting things including flying an aircraft, building a model aircraft and taking field trips to the airport.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns at any time, please do not hesitate to contact me. The easiest way to contact me is via e-mail, which I check regularly. (Use the staff tab at the top of the website) You may also leave a voicemail at my office number. I look forward to communicating with you throughout the year.

Aviation I

Grade Placement: 10, 11, 12 | 2 Credits (Block Class) | Full Year

This aviation program is one-of-a-kind in North Dakota. We prepare our students for the private pilot verbal and written exam, utilizing the flight simulators along with the Kerbal Space Software Program.  Some of the topics we investigate and apply are aerodynamics, weather forecasting, navigation, air traffic control, aircraft engineering, aviation law, physiology, performance, career opportunities, airframe and power-plant. A highlight is the opportunity students will have to take control of an aircraft in flight.

Aviation II

Grade Placement: 11, 12 | 2 Credits (Block Class) | Full Year

Prerequisite: Aviation I
This course prepares future pilots, air traffic controllers, mechanics and educators for the 21st century.  The students learn advanced aerodynamics, airmanship and navigation.  Focus is placed on aircraft manufacturing and assembly of an aircraft.  The students work as a team to build a full-scale aircraft that when completed, will be flown. Students also receive training for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and research how they are going to affect our society in the future.  At the completion of the course, students will be prepared to pass the FAA private and unmanned aerial vehicle written exams.

Intro to Drones

Grade Placement: 9, 10, 11, 12 | 1 Credits (Block Class) | Semester

The Unmanned Aircraft Systems course will teach students a basic understanding of recreational and commercial unmanned aircraft operations. They will identify the responsibility and authority of the remote PIC, discuss rules of UAS operation, understand the significance of airspace Classes B, C, D, E, and G as they pertain to UAS. Identify special-use airspace where UAS usage may be prohibited. Understand weather and how it affects flight of UAS. Understand general loading and performance data, airport operations. When students complete this course, they will have a general understanding and knowledge of the operation and uses of UAS as they pertain to the world of Aviation.
