The laboratory exercise is executed over a period of two days with up to three backupdates planned for weather problems. The pilots and aircraft belong to a detachment that providesadministrative and VIP support to the Academy. Prior to the actual conduct of the lab exercisethe instructor for the course meets with the lab pilots to review administrative and logisticalrequirements and review the lab procedures. The Instructor is also a qualified helicopter pilotbut does not operate the aircraft during the course of the lab exercise in order to provide betteroversight of the students as they gather data and participate in the lab experience.

limited technician help, and student support. For these reasons, cost andinfrastructure can be an issue for some institutions.This approach does not provide a great deal of time developing any one skill. These are BSETprograms and graduates are not technicians. For this reason, students only develop basicfamiliarity with such skills as tube flaring and pipe fitting, for example. They do not graduatewith a proficiency in hands-on technician skills. For some two-year programs, this requiredoutcome would necessitate a different approach.This multifaceted lab also takes more time for administration and planning. It is substantiallyeasier for an instructor to step through a series of activities from a standard trainer workbook or acomputer simulation

Firstly, the application subject namely thecourse used to implement and carry the suggested approach is presented. In the following section,the suggested pedagogical approach’s plan is laid out and justified to serve the set goals.
