About the Bill Kimble Flight Scholarship
Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) reports that the national average for earning a Private Pilot License (PPL) is about 70 hours of flight time. Additionally, the journey to a PPL requires considerable amounts of ground school, as well as regular self-study and flight preparation. The total amount of time and energy is easily equal to a part-time job. We have found that while many young people are excited by the prospect of actually being able to fly, few have the necessary background to understand what is involved. It is our hope that any young person who thinks they want to fly will apply for and participate in Phase I. The only real investment required for this phase is time and study, one night a week for approximately 10 weeks. In return, even as he or she begins the theoretical learning process, there will be a chance for the student to meet actual pilots and get a real sense of what it takes to become one.
The Green Castle Aero Club is an ideal place to undertake the sometimes arduous but exciting task of learning to fly. The Club is located at Green Castle Airport, on F28 about 5 miles west of North Liberty. We have nearly 150 members with a wide range of experience. We have a number of active Certified Flight Instructors (CFI) who are always happy to answer questions, provide instruction, or offer advice. You and your family are welcome to visit us at one of our meetings or whenever you are free. If you just want to drop by, please call so we can be sure to have someone there to meet you. Our phone number is (319) 545-2101. Or visit our CONTACT US page for more ways to connect. You may also contact the Scholarship Committee Chair, Dean Beranek at (563) 506-2665 or [email protected].
