Zero to Solo Fly Compton Foundation offers a comprehensive aviation and STEM pipeline beginning with Zero to Solo, which introduces students as young as 8 years old to aviation fundamentals through ground instruction, simulation, and in-air training, preparing them to pass the FAA Written Examination and advance to Solo Camp. Solo Camp is a free, intensive capstone for participants at least 16 years of age who have passed the FAA Written Examination, culminating in a supervised first solo flight. Students then progress to Solo to Private, a program fully funded by Fly Compton Foundation, where they complete FAA requirements and prepare for their check ride to earn a Private Pilot Certificate. In addition, the organization offers hands-on technical and STEM programming through the Torqued Up Aircraft Maintenance & Engineering Workshop, which provides training in aircraft systems, maintenance, safety, and engineering fundamentals, and Fly High SkyLab, an immersive lab focused on robotics, coding, aerodynamics, and engineering, building workforce readiness through project-based learning and mentorship.
