Fall 2008 - West High School students
participate in the General required course
work in order to take Airframe and Powerplant
courses offered by the
Emily Griffith Opportunity School (EGOS).
These young students also participate in
the
General Ground Handling & Operations
course.
FAA regulations come with specific training
requirements for official credit.
Students ride a bus back and forth and breaks
are kept to a minimum. The physical
location of West High School and the EGOS
training facility at Front Range Airport
make for long days and short breaks.
The students do their shops at the offsite
satellite training center at: Emily Griffith
Opportunity School - Front Range Airport.
On October 9, 2008, Jeppesen sponsored
our students with a lunch, gifts and information
on their organization. West High School
students, 2 instructors; Roy Gloria and
Dave Yuskewich, and 2 representatives from
Jeppesen; Tim Nave; Director of Strategic
Account and Casey Cole; Director of Recruitment
that spoke to the West High School students.
The participants from West High School
attend the EGOS Front Range facility 2-3
times a month for their shop projects. Once
again our staff and students appreciate
all your help in providing our participants
a nutritious lunch.
The students are doing pre engine run-up
inspections and performing an engine run-up
on a twin engine Piper Senneca and on a
Pratt & Whitney PT-6 Turbo Prop engine
mock up.

Your assistance to provide a nutritious
square meal and beverages are greatly

at times the sponsor likes to talk
to the participants. We have a time
limit of 20 minutes to speak and
10 minutes for questions; for we
are FAA mandated by time. The participants
that come out to Aircraft Training
Center are limited on time on working
in the shops.

Fantastic!
Thank you and congratulations to all involved
for making this event a success. How exciting
to have the first group of West HS students
participate in their first FAA required
lab competencies with local industry
support. You all make me proud of what
you are doing for DPS aviation students.
Sincerely,
