National Flight Academy

National Flight Academy (NFA) is an interactive, fully immersive learning experience that focuses on inspiring youth to take a greater interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). National Flight Academy is located on Naval Air Station Pensacola, next to the National Naval Aviation Museum. NFA is a program of the Naval Aviation Museum Foundation Inc., and is authorized, but not endorsed or funded, by the United States Navy and United States Government. Since inception, nearly 17,000 students from 50 states and 29 countries have experienced the unparalleled learning adventure aboard AMBITION, a state-of-the-art program housed onboard a 100,000+ square foot virtual aircraft carrier. Attendees – known as AMBITION Experimental Pilots or AXPs – plan missions with ultramodern, advanced technology, learn to fly in 40 networked flight simulators, eat on mess decks, sleep in staterooms, and receive mission briefings in ready rooms. Mission planning is conducted in Joint Intelligence Centers (JICs) using modern, interactive learning technology. The missions flown are humanitarian in nature and do not involve weaponry.
