Ohio University Airport to expand flight training for 400 students
Aviation director Ralph Smeck announced curriculum changes at the Ohio University Airport to accommodate over 400 students this semester. The program splits flying time over two semesters, reducing weekly flight frequency and protecting eligibility when fees rise. A new cross country course adds ten hours of landings and 30 hours of cross country work, focusing on practical routing between points. Six CAA officials visited Athens to support the rollout, and an Ercoupe training aircraft was added to the fleet assisting amputation-friendly controls without rudder pedals.
