Aviation Experience Day – The Future is Bright

Programs
Written By Western Sydney Women

Earlier this week high school girls from Western Sydney, as part of The Future is Bright in Aviation program, got to experience what it was like to fly a 737 flight simulator at Sydney Flight College. 

The students were also given the opportunity to plan a cross-country navigation exercise, conduct an extensive tour of SFC's aircraft fleet, and even hear from Nina, a C130J Hercules Captain in the RAAF.

Thank you to team at SFC for an amazing day of learning, and for your support of women in aviation. It was exciting to see the engagement and questions from the girls!

Providing these opportunities for girls to explore their interests is crucial as only around 5% of pilots worldwide are female, a statistic we would love to see continue to increase. 

The Future is Bright in Aviation is funded by the Women in the Aviation Industry Initiative by The Australian Government Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications.
