With coffee and homemade cakes, our teenagers welcomed the guests to the ‘Open Day’. After a joint preparation everyone was delighted by the great interest, stimulating discussions and active participants in our workshop rally.
After stencils were made of wood, the new windows for the cockpit could be replicated of polycarbonate plates. Julian and Lasana drill the last mounting holes in the cockpit.
We were supported by our volunteer, Günter Hujer, who reconstructs the Eyebrow window from forex panels with Omar.
Malek and Mohammed have discovered their talents to build a new vehicle from a collection of old bicycle parts.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR:
Old bicycles or accessories!

Since September, we got new students of the Alfred-Nobel-School, who have their practical classes in our ‘Fliegerwerkstatt’ three times a week.

In the first three weeks of the summer holidays the Fliegerwerkstatt offers various workshops.
Individual courses can be requested at Ulrike Braiger: ulrike.braiger@socialreturn.de
From 15 August to 3 September 2016, the Fliegerwerkstatt remains closed.
We wish all happy holidays and good rest!
The original Boeing 737 cockpit in itself is fascinating and has given us the opportunity to explain many functions when removing components. With the imminent launch of our simulator construction, the cockpit gets a new purpose. Therefore, the participants of the Fliegerwerkstatt start preparing the skin accordingly:
To ensure that no injuries occur at the cut edges, these are carefully deflashed.
Since the cockpit with its blue color would reflect too much light to the projection screen, it must be matt coated black.
Therefore, it is first sanded and then taped to protect.
Three coats were necessary to deeply color the cockpit black. Each group of our three partner schools was responsible for a painting:
The first task took over Ikeade, Shamel, Fidel, Omar and Ferhat.
We continued with Ahmet, Tobias, Fadl, Tayourou and Saim.
Hristo, Muhammed, Anil and Bilal were very proud for their final painting!
For the first time since the opening of the Fliegerwerkstatt we received approval for funding: the Berlin Lotto Foundation supports us in our project to build an airworthy Simulator with motion platform with our participants. The centerpiece is our original Boeing-737 cockpit.
Our technology experts and volunteers discuss with us the first ideas while sharing their experiences.
Our group of the Alfred-Nobel-School was able to prove their technical skills once more. While her classmates created a documentary about the Walter-Gropius-Bau, the idea of a walk-in communication box was born in which three i-pads should be installed.
Since January, we are in close contact with TRAINICO, a company that provides specifically for the aviation sector retraining, education and training. During a visit to the training workshop in Wildau our group of Ferdinand-Freiligrath-school about the various possibilities of a career entry could inform.
We are delighted with the offer of TRAINICO to offer our subscribers even a student internship.
