HV's ART and messabouts (teaching highschoolers to fly jets)

That last image could have been linked to make the rest of the post easier to read, you know.
And Red, I don't see how what I said is any different from what you said, since I basically MEANT to say whatever you ended up showing me. I know how to google, after all.

The difference is that I couldn't understand what you were saying.

Pitch is nose up/down, not aircraft forward/backward. "Forward/backward" suggests Vectoring In Forward Flight, which an Airbus jetliner wouldn't have.

Can you see why I was confused?

Vectoring In Forward Flight

I had to google that. We were talking about rotating the aircraft here though, so sorry if trying to say things in my own words for my understanding within obvious context interferes with words from an unrelated context. And I do mean that.

It's okay.

Well, first time drawing a guy in a suit. Not too bad but I really do think that I need to learn how to be patient with drawings and not make every single one of my artworks <60 min rush jobs.

I'm starting an after school program at my high school where I plan to teach ~6 Grade 9-11 students how to fly the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 using real world procedures. I've already gotten approval from the heads of departments and the logistics office to start the ASP and I've already arranged for all the necessary software to be installed on the school computers. Below is the video that I have made to promote the ASP during a school-wide assembly period sometime during early October; please feel free to give criticisms and make suggestions for improvements, they will be widely appreciated!

The course will be spread out over a 3 month curriculum which will cover:
- Rudimentary flight planning using SID/STAR procedures
- Orientation on basic cockpit layout
- Startup procedures from cold and dark
- Setting up the FMC/CDU for short IFR LNAV/VNAV flights
- Entering weight/performance data and calculating V-Speeds and fuel quantities using the FMC
- MCP usage
- Takeoff procedures
- Manual engine management
- Energy management; VMAX, VMO, VNE, VECON & etc.
- Using the FMC/CDU to make alterations or add holding patterns to the active flight plan
- Descent and approach procedures
- Shutdown procedures
- Advanced hand flying techniques
- Dealing with emergencies including:
-> Engine failure before V1
-> Engine failure after V1
-> Handling engine fires/damage
-> Emergency descent techniques
