Aviation Education Through Building an Airplane. Advisory Circular 20-86.
Federal Aviation Administration (DOT), Washington, DC.
A popular school project being undertaken around the country today is the amateur-built airplane. Many schools have already finished their first airplane and are working on their second. A list of some of these schools is provided. Interest in these programs has risen greatly among both students and teachers along with grades, attendance, performance, and general attitude. The aviation subject matter seems to be a lift from the routine of normal classroom learning and allows total school involvement. Setting up a project of this type entails considerable planning but with great reward. The purpose of this circular is to provide schools with a source of advisement, contacts, inspectors, previous builders, and resources for teaching aides, the outcome of which can help attain the basic educational goal of building an airplane.
