2002 K-State at Salina

 

* Kevin Giefer, a flight instructor at K-State at Salina and native of Cheney, Kan., won a $15,000 national CAE SimuFlite scholarship. Giefer's application included a 250-word essay on his goals in corporate aviation, as well as his college transcripts and letters of recommendation. Although there were more than 400 applicants for the annual award in 2002, a mere three scholarships were awarded through the University Aviation Association. The CAE SimuFlite program, which took place Sept. 10-23, is run by CAE's civil simulation and training and gives the scholarship winners the opportunity to earn Citation V type ratings. The new rating gives Giefer FAA approval to fly in a wide variety of Citation aircraft, including the 500, 550 and 560 series Citations. He also is now rated as a pilot-in-command for a Citation V jet. November 2002
