Why are there so few women pilots in America? In fact, only six-percent of those holding pilot certificates are female. Why is the number of women pilots so abysmally low? Thanks to research grant support partially provided by the Wolf Aviation Fund, some of the answers are to be found right here at "Teaching Women to Fly."

aviation-related charities receive grants during 2010. All of those that were nominated are already doing "good" for aviation. We want to come along side to help build awareness and increase funding opportunities. And, we want to mobilize the pilot community to learn more about them and get involved.

ABLE FLIGHT PILOTS GIVE BACK WITH FREEDOM FLIGHT 2011 Able Flight makes it possible for people with disabilities to become pilots. In January 2011, Able Flight pilots Heather Schultz and Sean O'Donnell will do fly Sean's specially adapted airplane on a multi-city tour of a thousand miles to demonstrate to wounded veterans and others that a disability need not be a barrier to realizing a dream. Sean and Heather are also using the journey to raise funds for Able Flight scholarships for wounded veterans, providing a way for them to face and overcoming their own challenges.

"Recognizing that the cost of learning to fly can pose a significant barrier for some student pilots, AOPA earlier this year established two $5,000 flight training scholarships-the AOPA Flight Training Scholarship and the Erral Lea Plymate Memorial Scholarship. In addition, Aviation Supplies & Academics (ASA) and Jeppesen-two of the world's leading providers of flight training materials-approached AOPA to provide scholarship funds as well. To qualify, applicants had to hold a student pilot certificate but not yet a pilot certificate, complete an online application, and receive two recommendations."
