WELCOME!

To The

"DS46 & Helicopter Trainer Simulators"

Unique to the Mesa Public Schools!

A compliment to the existing 5th grade "Flight" core curriculum emphasis. "Hands-on" motion based simulators bring to life the terms "Roll - Pitch - Yaw". Realistic instrumentation allows takeoff, cruise, maneuvering, and landing scenarios.

Extends the careers awareness to K - 6

NOTE: The Delta Partnership has provided a DS46 & Helicopter Trainers to the Mesa Public Schools Lowell Elementary School. One each additional units will be provided to the Mesa Public Schools by September 1999. A truly unique educational capability!
