OUR STRUCTURE

AVIATION, LEADERSHIP, AND SERVICE IN ACTION.

Stuyvesant Service Academies Flight Club prepares students to pursue a Private Pilot License while developing the stewardship, discipline, and service mindset connected with the United States Service Academies.

Through partnerships with local aviation companies, members can gain access to aviation education, mentorship, and opportunities to pursue real-world flight training.

By combining aviation, STEM, peer guidance, and service, the club provides students with practical learning beyond the classroom while helping develop confident, responsible, and service-oriented future leaders.

Hands-On

Aviation, STEM & leadership activities

Meeting frequency may be adjusted to prioritize members' academic commitments.

There will be no sessions during school breaks, and meetings will pause during AP and Regents preparation periods to support students' academic responsibilities.

Outside these periods, the club intends to remain consistent throughout the school year.

VIRTUAL MEETINGS

Some meetings may also take place virtually.

When a meeting is virtual, members will receive an email reminder with the meeting link, typically through Google Meet.

APPOINTMENT PROCEDURE

LEADERSHIP EARNED THROUGH PARTICIPATION.

The club will initially operate under a primary student leader who oversees activities and leads core lessons to establish a strong foundation.
