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.
Since October 2015 our honorary learning therapist Matthias Goldmann supervised one of our participants. Thank you very much for this valuable work and personal commitment!
Not only the students liked the result of their course ” sawing and screwing “, but also the school board!
So the geosphere found a new home at the entrance hall of LOTIS Oberstufenzentrum.
Every Tuesday refugee children from the hangars come to the Fliegerwerkstatt to play soccer. An initiative that we could start with our networking partners, ” Breakout ” and ” Yellow Villa “.
Our Fliegerwerkstatt youth, including refugees from different nations, built for refugees shelfs and seating for the Tempelhof welcome café.
The wood is sawn, sanded, stuck together and attached by an air pressure stapler.
The final assembly took place in the Tempelhof welcome café.
A few hundred meters from the Fliegerwerkstatt there is an exciting project that our youth may follow: the former aircraft engineers and pilots around Hagen Goerz restore as volunteers a whole aircraft for the technical museum. The Ilyushin II – 14 is repaired piece by piece since 2006. Mutual visits have become a matter of course, and the commitment of our neighbors for the young people is remarkable.
Of course, we are happy when the television comes round to report about the Fliegerwerkstatt. Not all youths dared to be on camera. That’s o.k.! In the end, the remaining volunteers helped to make an authentic report.
You missed the report on TV? Here is the link:
In anticipation of our own flight simulator the first four youths were invited to take a flight lesson at Aviare! Many thanks to Norbert Gronak and Ruben Schikora!
