answer to which online aviation course depends upon what one is looking to accomplish.\u00a0 As Stephen Covey stated, &#8220;You must begin with the end in mind&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PILOT COURSE<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/doctoraviation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pilot-training-e1515538489886.jpg\" width=\"238\" height=\"160\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some people who search for online aviation courses, are really looking for an online piloting course.\u00a0 To achieve a private pilot&#8217;s license, one must successfully accomplish a ground school.\u00a0 Traditionally, aspiring pilots attended a face to face ground school through a local Fixed Based Operator (FBO) and received in class instruction in order to accomplish their ground school.\u00a0 With the advent of distance and online learning, much of ground school can be accomplished in a non-traditional manner.<\/p>\n<p>Sporty&#8217;s (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportys.com\/\">http:\/\/www.sportys.com\/<\/a>) is probably America&#8217;s best known and respected pilot shop.\u00a0 They offer a highly rated flying course at a very reasonable price.\u00a0 For more details see:\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportys.com\/pilotshop\/learn-to-fly-course-online-private-pilot-test-prep.html\">http:\/\/www.sportys.com\/pilotshop\/learn-to-fly-course-online-private-pilot-test-prep.html<\/a>.\u00a0 Through a program like Sporty&#8217;s, a prospect pilot can begin their journey to becoming a pilot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AVIATION OVERVIEW<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/doctoraviation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/overview-of-aviation.jpg\" width=\"283\" height=\"212\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another option when it comes to online aviation courses is the MOOC.\u00a0 MOOC stands for Massive Open Online Courses.\u00a0 These are courses offered by universities.\u00a0 They are generally video\/lecture based.\u00a0 The university will offer a MOOC partly as a gesture of goodwill to help the community.\u00a0 Additionally, the university hopes to entice the student to sign up for future courses and pay tuition.<\/p>\n<p>A popular MOOC course is offered by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.\u00a0 Embry-Riddle has a long history in the aviation education space.\u00a0 Their Aviation 101 class is an overview of important aviation topics (e.g. aircraft systems, airports, aviation weather).\u00a0 The class is offered through nine video sessions (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.class-central.com\/search?q=Aviation+101\">https:\/\/www.class-central.com\/search?q=Aviation+101<\/a>), but seems to be offered only periodically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AVIATION HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/doctoraviation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/aviation-history-e1515538479313.jpeg\" width=\"221\" height=\"166\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Other universities sometimes offer online aviation courses on the history of aviation.\u00a0 The University of Birmingham has offered a course on how the innovation required during World War I helped shape the future of aviation.\u00a0 This course:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.futurelearn.com\/courses\/ww1-aviation\">https:\/\/www.futurelearn.com\/courses\/ww1-aviation<\/a> \u00a0is not currently being offered, but is an example of what can be found online.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/doctoraviation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Flight-dynamic-Equations.png\" width=\"229\" height=\"107\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>For the student searching for a more technical approach in an online aviation course, several universities offer lectures and\/or notes regarding aeronautical engineering principles (<a href=\"https:\/\/study.com\/articles\/List_of_Free_Online_Aviation_Courses_Lectures_and_Learning_Materials.html\">https:\/\/study.com\/articles\/List_of_Free_Online_Aviation_Courses_Lectures_and_Learning_Materials.html<\/a>).\u00a0 The Indian Institute of Technology Madras is one such institution with courses on flight dynamics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/doctoraviation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/System-Venn-Diagram-e1515538617557.jpg\" width=\"216\" height=\"162\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>An online aviation course that strives to combine several of the education approaches above is <a href=\"https:\/\/doctoraviation.com\">www.DoctorAviation.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Doctor Aviation provides an overview of important aviation topics, similar to the Embry-Riddle course.\u00a0 It also provides a pathway to your pilot&#8217;s wings that could continue with an online course such as Sporty&#8217;s.\u00a0 Some aspects of aeronautical engineering, to include an introduction to flight dynamics is presented in a clear and understandable way.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/doctoraviation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Thunderbirds.jpg\" width=\"373\" height=\"248\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, the technical aspects of the course are brought alive through real life illustrations.\u00a0 Famous flights and crashes provide powerful examples that will be etched in the students mind.\u00a0 Imagination will be sparked as you follow the exploits of aviators breaking records, from the Wright Brothers on the beaches of Kitty Hawk, to Neil Armstrong on the lunar surface.\u00a0 Similar to the Birmingham course, the innovation required during war is chronicled, particularly the advances made during and after World War II into the rocket age.<\/p>\n<p>Many Doctor Aviation students have used the course as a science or history elective.<\/p>\n<p>So if you are looking for a very specific topic in an online aviation course, some of the suggestions above should help.\u00a0 If you are looking for fascinating cross section that can help begin or enhance your aviation interest, Doctor Aviation is for you.\u00a0 Click here to begin your journey:\u00a0\u00a0<a
