The course in February in Vancouver will last three weeks, including five to 10 hours' flying and basic knowledge of flying. The college will make a comprehensive evaluation on how well she has mastered the knowledge and skills and her physical adaptation.
Talking about the course, Huang said with confidence that "flying an airplane doesn't need to use feet. Now that the college has chosen me, I think I can make it."
