ABOUT THE FLIGHT

You'll start in the air on final approach to runway 19 at Bremerton National Airport (KPWT). In Part 1, you will fly through hoops drawn by Flight Simulator to help you descend and fly to the runway. In Part 2 you will use the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) to help you determine your glide path. In both lessons, you will learn to flare the airplane above the runway and brake to a stop once on the runway.
