THE COURSE AT A GLANCE
What it helps you work on.
This AOPA Air Safety Institute scenario follows a VFR trip from southern New Jersey toward Erie, Pennsylvania. Learners make choices as thunderstorms, deteriorating conditions and fuel concerns complicate the route. Alternate paths let you explore different outcomes.
The exercise is useful for discussing decision points with an instructor or study partner. Explain what information would make you change the plan before selecting an answer. AOPA lists completion-credit options on the official page; confirm the current account and recording requirements if credit matters to you.
