But you have a big advantage over me--I plunged into a "game" with no rules and unknown rewards while you contemplate a profitable career in a regulated, vastly expanding industry. I had to seek my jobs as I learned aviation the hard way. Today, jobs are seeking men who have applied themselves to easily available, systematized training. Ryan instruction methods have advanced along with the technological development of aviation. Courses are "engineered" to the specific needs of the industry. Students who appreciate the value of this type of training come here from every state in the Union and from many foreign countries. Each Ryan student receives personal, individual attention. We are not interested in graduating large groups as hurriedly as pos. sible but prefer to train each student for outstanding leadership, so that he may become an asset to the aviation industry and a credit to himself as well as this school. If this is the type of training you desire we shall welcome you at Ryan, where every effort will be made to make your stay in San Diego profitable and pleasant. T. CLAUDE RYAN, President, Ryan School of Aeronautics. �--- Ji fatdl a, a,1 _ Sclwol RYAN is America's Oldest Certificated (Government Approved) X. School of Aviation U. S. Government "Certificated Advanced Flying School" must meet rigid requirements regarding its planes, ground school equipment, classroom facilities, extent of lectures, airport lighting and other features of importance to student training. Entire facilities are subject to frequent government inspection. Instructors must hold special instructors ratings and take periodic government examinations. Training must proceed on regular schedule and students are required to take final examinations within 30 days after completion of their course to qualify as "Certificated School" graduates. The government finds these graduates qualify for their license after fewer hours of training than A are required of students who train under unapproved methods. Ryan School of Aeronautics has the highest advanced flying school rating issued by the U. S. Civil Aeronautics Authority. This certificate covers flight and technical training for Commercial, Limited Commercial, Private and Solo Pilot's licenses. This rating has been constantly maintained by strict adherence to government regulations, by the constant adding of equipment and facilities and by exceeding all requirements in practically every phase of aviation training. In addition to the "Certificated Advanced Flying School" rating, the Ryan School is "certificated" as an Airplane and Engine Mechanics' School, also as a Repair Base. FLIGHT STUDENT'S VIEW OF THE RYAN SCHOOL OF AERONAUTICS AND ITS NOTABLE NEIGHBORS n a picturesque setting of palm trees, the Ryan School of Aeronautics occupies modern buildings of Spanish architecture located at Lindbergh Field, San Diego, California. This $2,000,000 municipal flying field, known as "America's most beautiful airport," is the largest aviation center situated adjacent to the main business district of a metropolitan area. Built on the shores of beautiful San Diego Bay, it is only one mile from the center of the downtown district. Less than a mile across the bay, and in clear view from the Ryan School, is r orth Island, the U. S. Government's largest aeronautical operating base. The Ryan Administration Building, with its five-story tower, is topped by a beacon which spells "San Diego" to the night pilot. In this building are the Ryan general offices, lecture and engineering rooms, accessory department, lobby, modern cafe, U. S. Customs and Immigration I offices, U. S. airway weather bureau, Civil Aeronautics Authority inspector's headquarters and communications service. Approximately 300 feet distant, across concrete parking areas and wide paved walks, is the Ryan Aeronautical Company factory; also the Ryan School's government approved repair base. Adjacent to this is the new student building for airplane shop, engine shop, welding, woodworking, sheetmetal and other departments. Here are housed aircraft of various types for student instruction. Directly adjacent to the north of the Ryan buildings is the huge Consolidated Aircraft factory, where giant flying boats are built. Immediately to the south are the terminal and hangars of United Air Lines and Western Air Express. Lindbergh Field is also the home of the U. S. Army Air Corps Reserve and the aviation unit of the U.S. Coast Guard. �SAN DIEGO, FLIGHT CAPITAL OF AMERICA S ome years ago the U. S. Government made a national survey seeking the best possible site for a military aviation school. Every conceivable angle was considered. Finally, after exhaustive research, a Commission appointed by the Secretary of War reported as follows: "The site ... should possess certain geographical, climatological, and topographical characteristics . . . should be located on an ocean or bay ... Climatological characteristics should be such as to give the greatest number of flying days po~sible throughout the year, with suitable air, moisture and temperature conditions, while the topography of the terrain in the vicinity should ... contain many good landing places." "The terrain in the vicinity of San Diego Bay fulfills the foregoin'g conditions better than any other section.... A study . . . clearly indicated that the littoral of San Diego Bay contains the best sites for the establishment of an aviation section as far as weather and air ~onditions are concerned • . . The country in the vicinity of San Diego ... shows terrain of every description, from level land to mountains, and possesses characteristics that can be found in no other part of the country." Dress parade, Naval Training Station, one mile from Lindbergh Field. ince the U. S. Government :first determined through extensive investigation and research: that San Diego is unequalled for aviation, many important government aeronautical activities have been concentrated here. The huge Navy aviation shops, aircraft carriers, dirigible mooring mast, supply depots, repair bases and several training :fields in San Diego constitute the government's largest aeronautical operating base. Today, the Navy, :Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Army Air Corps Reserve aviation units in San Diego comprise more than 500 of the nation's fastest and latest type military aircraft. Here the government carries on daily flight maneuvers ranging from concentrated individual practice to formation flights of more than 400 planes. When the Ryan School was moved to Lindbergh Field and the :first group of its n ew buildings was dedicated, 424 planes from the Army, r avy and Marine Corps flew over this city as part of the day's program. S Lindbergh Field is the southwestern terminal of United Air Lines and Western Air Express. San Diego product-the mighty Consolidated 4-engine bomber built for the U.S. Navy. �SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA -the Aviation Industrial Center of America Lockheed "LI/' n Lindbergh Field, the "campus" of the Ryan School, is the factory of the Ryan Aeronautical Co.; next door is the Consolidated Aircraft plant, one of the world's largest airplane factories. Within a stone's throw is the plant of the Solar Aircraft Co. On North Island, directly across the bay, the U. S. Government maintains its largest aeronautical operating base, employing a large civilian personnel in addition to enlisted men. It is significant that one out of every 14 employed persons in San Diego is engaged in the aviation industry. Only an hour's flight from Ryan are the great plants of Douglas, orthrop, Lockheed, Vega, North American, Vultee, Menasco and a score of aircraft component and accessory manufacturers. In dollar volume, more than half of the aircraft manufacturing business of America is centered in Southern California. At the beginning of 1939, out of 36,000 estimated to be employed in aviation throughout the nation, better than 44% worked here! More aviation workers are now employed in this section than were employed throughout the entire nation in 1934. In the beginning of 1939, an all-time record for unfilled orders of close to $100,000,000 indicated for these Southern California factories an ever increasing percentage of national aviation production and employment. O dock less than a mile from CONTINUEDThe ideal conditions that caused the government to establish its many aviation activities in San Diego have influenced numerous other aviation developments to come here. From 1911, when the world's :first seaplane flight was made from the waters of San Diego Bay, until the present date a long list of over seventy world's records and ":firsts" in aviation accomplishments have been added to aeronautical history in this city. In this semi-tropical clime the cold and climatic disturbances of winter months, or the severe heat and thunder storms of summer are unknown. Warmed in winter by a friendly sun and cooled in summer by gentle breezes from the Pacific Ocean, with clear blue skies and moderate temperatures throughout the year, this city is truly aviation's paradise. Commercially, San Diego holds an important aeronautical position. As the most southwesterly city in the United States, it is the terminus for major airlines. It is located in the heart of America's aeronautical industrial development with a dozen or more of the nation's largest aircraft factories and overhaul units adjacent to or within a one-hour flight from the Ryan School. Coast Guard Air Base on Lindbergh Field. Below is orth Island with aircraft carrier in foreground. Douglas D0-4 ~-.. i~-.:· .... " �Ryan S-0 Industries cannot grow without man power. Unique among industries because it can employ only trained men, the growth of aviation has been astounding. This means, young men sensing aviation's opportunities have trained themselves for the careers that aviation offers. The demand for trained men has been accelerated in the recent past and today's opportunities are greater than ever before. Taking airline operations as an example of aviation's growth, we look back over the ten year period of 19~8-38 and discover that total airplane miles scheduled daily jumped from 39,060 to 197,97.~ -that total passenger miles flown increased from approximately 1,000,000 to 476,000,000 ! And still less than I% of the U.S. population is represented by air travellers! As we can judge the future only by the past, it is evident that many years of expansion and continued development are ahead of this industry. New air routes are piercing the sky in every part of the world. r ew planes are being developed constantly. r ew uses for planes-in commerce, industry and military defense are being applied. :More people are flying for business and pleasure. More mail _a nd express are being shipped by air. There is little doubt that without much further delay all first class mail will be sent air mail. Each month, week and day finds many new and major developments. This continued expansion calls for man power -and more man power-but, it must be technically trained. Far sighted young men will prepare themselves for the greater aviation opportunities yet ahead. Ryan training is unique in that it is engineered to the actual requirements of the aviation industry. This is due to the fact that the Ryan School is an affiliate of the Ryan Aeronautical Co., manufacturers of America's most popular sport and training planes. At Ryan you are in aviation from the start-learning to earn according to the very specifications of the industry that will employ you. To all parts of the world go the aircraft built these Southern California factories. Boeing 74-passenger Clipper Jobs are seeking trained men the aviation industry. �T he proximity of the school to the San Diego residential district makes it possible to avoid the crowded, uncomfortable features of a dormitory system. Students enjoy the comfort of well appointed rooms in attractive private homes near the airport. Most of these homes are within walking distance of the school, and are located midway between the airport and beautiful Balboa Park, scene of the 1935-36 San Diego Exposition. Single rooms in this choice section range from $ 10 to $ 15 per month ; room and board can be arranged for approximately $30 to $35 per month. Many students obtain their meals at the airport ca£ e. By special arrangement, Ryan students are also privileged to select single rooms at the San Diego Athletic Club or the Y. M. C. A. Rates are extremely reasonable for the accommodations offered. Personal interest begins with your arrival. Model building makes spare time productive for this aeronautical student. Airport cafe features wholesome food at moderate prices for Ryan students. Mail distribution in the morning is eagerly awaited. Ryan students come from all points of the compass. �Aquaplaning at its best. .. How would you award prizes Aviation leaders WHOLESOME RECREATION is fostered at Ryan. At frequent intervals the entire student body participates in such activities as swimming, picnics, bowling, horseback rides, roller skating, moonlight boat rides and dances. The city maintains free tennis courts and golf links. The school furnishes each student without cost a membership in the Y. 1\1. C. A. with full use of complete facilities, including swimming pool and gymnasium. The Pacific Ocean or smooth waters of San Diego Bay provide sailing, motor boating, aquaplaning, swimming and deep-sea fishing.

This important and valuable phase of advanced training is included in all regular Ryan Commercial Courses. The student with a "safety" pilot spends approximately ten hours under a hooded cockpit. During this time he learns to r ely entirely on his instruments for the control and direction of his planesimula ting the difficult conditions encountered when flying in a fog or clouds, and . . . RADIO BEAM FL YING. All Ryan Commercial students receive special instruction on radio beam flying in radio equipped school ships. A part of this training is given under the "hood" in conjunction with the instrument or "blind" flying instruction. A government radio range station, located adjacent to Lindbergh Field, makes it possible for Ryan students to receive this advanced and important training under suitable conditions. ocean shore. This is a type of varied experience that cannot be secured elsewhere. Flights are routed so as to give the student experience in landings and take-offs from all types of fields. From this cross-country training he will retain never-to-be-forgotten memories of this invaluable flight experience in Southern California. Typical two-day journeys include flights to San Francisco; to Boulder Dam at Las Vegas, Nevada; to historic Death Valley; to Phoenix, Arizona; and to Ensenada in romantic Old Mexico. These flights, under the personal direction of a school instructor, are usually made by groups of three to five students, each flying his individual open cockpit plane for the entire trip. Night flight training at Ryan is given at well lighted Lind- bergh Field. The Ryan School feels that the demands of present day commercial aviation make it highly important that the commercial pilot who considers himself qualified for a position should have had proper training in both blind and radio beam flight. There is more flying in San Diego throughout the year than in any other U. S. city regardless of size I ., I~ CROSS COUNTRY FL YING. One of the outstanding features of Ryan training is the extensive crosscountry flying experience included in the Commercial Courses. Approximately ;l,500 miles are flown over all types of terrain, including mountains, desert and S ystematic schedules and thorough instruction are features of Ryan courses. San Diego weather enables students to train without interruption throughout the year. All Ryan flight courses proceed step by step, without delays, through the fundamentals to the most advanced type of crosscountry flying. A proper and ample amount of advanced dual check flying is given in all courses, and all training is carefully supervised. Ryan flight courses exceed U. S. Civil Aeronautics Authority requirements in every phase-by providing more than the stipulated flying hours and instruction. For example: The Ryan Commercial Pilot's Course, in addition to all C. A. A. requirements, provides extensive cross-country flying, formation flying, training in radio equipped plane, flight experience in a wide variety of modern aircraft and . . . In all America there is no commercial training fleet to compare with these Ryan ST-A's. Ryan flight training develops sound judgment and self assurance from the start. Cross country flying is featured at Ryan. Prior to takeoff each student must carefully plot and check his course. �If,, -vAJI/./l~IV'hL4 ftl-/j,1~- RYAN SOLO WINGS. In all a pilot's career one of the most eagerly anticipated and never-to-beforgotten events is his first solo flight. Other events even more colorful may come and go, but this is one moment that even the veteran pilot will always keep fresh in his recollection of training days. To commemorate this occasion in an enduring manner, the Ryan School gives each student, immediately after his first solo flight, this attractive pair of gold Ryan "Wings, as illustrated. RYAN MAINTAINS THE MOST MODERN TRAINING FLEET IN AMERICA . j jl I ~ A variety of well chosen modern aircraft is maintained for student training. Instruction is given in modern, metal Ryan ST-A, Menasco powered, low wing monoplanes-the same type, plus later improvements, as the Ryan that won the world's aerobatic championship. Except for military equipment and supercharger, these ships are identical to the Ryan planes used for military training. Other types of school aircraft include 215 h.p. to 330 h.p. cabin ships and the new 145 h.p. all metal three-place Ryan SC cabin plane. These planes as well as other new and modern types which are available are subject to change from time to time. The school prides itself on maintaining its flying equipment in perfect condition. All school planes have full air-wheels, brakes and complete instruments. Air-cooled engines of both radial and in-line designs are used exclusively. •',i,_- - ~ - - - - - - - - !

A lthough the radiotelephone operator thirdclass license will permit one to operate aircraft radio transmitters, there are many positions in connection with aircraft radio that require a radiotelephone operator 's second-class license. The Federal Communication Commission's new examination for the second-class license is both thorough and complete. It is with the view of supplying the student with the fundamental knowledge necessary to pass this examination that the l\Iaster Radio Course has been d es ign ed. This course will appeal to commercial pilot and private flyer in search of a more complete understanding of radio than is required of a radiotelephone thirdclass operator. It will likewise fill the needs of ground station operators and those who wish to engage in servicing and maintenance work.

The fact that you are now reading this catalog should inspire pride in your sonfor he has decided, or is about to decide, on a career. Regardless of the ambitions you may have cherished for him, you know that what interests him most he will do best and, after all, only he knows what he really wants to do. No profession holds greater opportunities than aviation-for noteworthy achievements. No profession is held in higher esteem. The men and women who have mastered the air-the engineers and mechanics who make flying possible-are rightly regarded with respect. They have conquered more than their immediate surroundings !

The rapid growth of aviation has made this procedure impossible in this particular industry. To be sure, highly specialized flight and technical training is absolutely essential for success in aviation but it may be acquired in less time than is necessary for other professions, and at lower cost. Compared with other vocations, aviation offers many advantages. Where others are overcrowded, or standing still, aviation is growing so fast that new opportunities are being constantly presented. The present aviation industry is but a skeleton organization of what will be required in the future. Where other professions cater to age and experience, aviation caters to youth, initiative and ability. Aviation is a young man's profession-for years to come it will look to youth for its greatest accomplishments in administration, engineering, mechanics, manufacturing, and piloting. Anyone who reviews events of the past-especially the last year-will realize that the whole world clamors for more airplanes and greater aviation services of every type. Regardless of economic conditions, aviation is the one industry that has forged ahead with an undiminished pace. Airplanes are being built and will continue to be built in ever increasing numbers-more and more men must be trained to build, man, service and nautics and business. Surrounding him is a staff of carefully selected instructors and company personnel who not only aid students in securing proper instruction but assist in every way possible toward their well-being.

Storie, X Trans-Canada Airlines. After being out of flying school a few years, one just begins to realize how important a sound, practical, thorough schooling in the basic fundamentals of aviation means to one who looks forward to advancement in this industry. As in every other business, a solid foundation is of vital importance. The foundation for advancement that the Ryan School of Aeronautics builds is above reproach, in my estimation. Ralvh Sewell, First Officer, --;:.. Pennsylvania-Central Airlines. We feel the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation is fortunate in being located immediately adjacent to the Ryan School of Aeronautics, as it gives us a ·ource of well trained young men for employment in our many technical departments. The preferable quality of the majority of Ryan graduates is probably due to the school's well rounded training program, together with the students' close observation of the manufacture of Ryan planes. It is becoming increasingly more important that those wishing to enter the aircraft in- dustry obtain suitable training before applying for work, due to the high minimum rate of pay required under the ·walsh-Healey Act.

(Parent of a student graduate) WILL YOU BE PREPARED FOR ANY OF THESE JOBS IN AVIATION? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ... . Question: lVhat are the entrance dates? Answer: The Ryan School year is divided into four terms of three months each. Terms begin on the first nlonclaJ/ of Janua1·y, April, July and October. However, mid-term enrollments can be arranged if the student notifies the school of the approximate date of his arrival. Question: ·what are Ryan entrance requirements? Answe1·: Any person, 16 years of age or more, with a high school education, or its equivalent, is eligible for enrollment, subject to final approval upon arrival at the school. High school graduation with satisfactory completion of plane and solid geometry is the minimum requirement for Aeronautical Engineering courses. Question: Does Ryan give a diploma? Answer: At the completion of his training, the student is given a diploma, also a final transcript which is a compilation of his entire record du1·ing his training period. These comprise the finest possible recommendation to show a prospective employer. Question: If I plan to go to college should I take my course at Ryan first? Answer: Prospective college students are urged to take their aeronautical training prior to college so they will be able to select the colle.r;e course that will be of greatest assistance to them in the branch of aviation work they choose to follow. Question: May I pay my tuition on the budget plan? Answer: Tuition may be paid either cash in advance or on the budget plan with a down payment at time of enrollment and the balance payable in monthly installments during the period of instruction. However, payments cannot be extended beyond the period of training. See current tuition schedules for further details. Question: What is a recommended gmduate? Answer: The Civil A eronautfos Authority requires a minimum grade of 70% in examinations for licenses. A minimum passing grade of 80% is required at the Ryan School. However, the "recommended graduate" must average 85% or better throughout his entire course. Such a student 1·eceives the full cooperation and 1·ecommendation of the school in future contacts for positions. Below are some of the representative classifications of employment which are found in the aviation industry. Many of these have scores of subdivisions showing more detailed activities. Pilot, Co-pilot, Airplane Mechanic (Production, Maintenance), Engine Iechanic (Production, Maintenance), Airline Maintenance Inspector, Radio Engineer, Radio Operator, Teletype Operator, Meteorologist, Instrument Technician, Stock Room Clerk, Operations Manager, Flight Superintendent, Airport Manager, Employment (Personnel) Manager, Airline Dispatcher, Passenger Agent, Aviation Accountant, Purchasing Agent, Aviation Lawyer, Public Relations Manager, Flight Instructor, Ground School Instructor, Aviation Insurance Underwriter, Aircraft Salesman, Equipment Salesman, Airline Ticket Agent, Advertising Manager, Aerial Photographer, Crop Dusting Pilot, Forestry Patrol Pilot, Test Pilot, Aircraft Welder, Parachute Rigger, Government Inspector (Flight and iechanics), Government Inspector (Engineering), Airways Keeper, Traffic Controller, Civil Service Technician, Aeronautical Engineer, Aircraft Draftsman, Production Engineer, Aircraft Engine Designer, Propeller Repairman, Flight Engineer, avigation Officer, Export Representative, Production Foreman, Propeller Designer, Sheet Metal Worker. PLACEMENTS No reputable college, university or technical school will guarantee positions for its students in B:dvance of training. However, the standing of Ryan in the aeronautical industry is such that Question: Can I get c1·edit for 1Jrevious training? Answer: Students who have had previous flight training should submit a detailed resume of logged training. Actual credit can be detennined only after a check flight and the school's subsequent recommendation to the local C.A.A. inspector. Question: Is part time employment advisable? Answer: ]lost Ryan courses vroceed on a full time basis, five clays a week from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. In addition, students are expected to devote a certain amount of time to evening study in order to get full benefit from the courses. Therefore, outside or part time employment is definitely not advisable. Question: Is a physical examination required for enrollment? Answer: Students enrolling for flight training must take a physical examination by a physician authorized by the C.A.A. A sound general physical condition, with emphasis on n01·mal eyesight ( or correction to normal with glasses) and normal hearing is necessary. Examination may be arranged with authorized C.A .A. physician nearest you or may be def erred until you come to San Diego. If under 21, obtain from the doctor a card that must be si_qned by parent or guardian and properly notarized. Authorized charge for examination is $10.00. The student pilot's certificate will be issued by examining physician. Ryan trafoing is held in the highest regard by the aviation industry and because of this, contacts are frequently made through this school which would not otherwise be established-and each Ryan student is assm·ed tl1at eYery reasonable effort will be made to place him in the type of work he desires to follow. Ryan is justly proud of the large number of former students and graduates who are now holding important positions in the aviation industry throughout the world.

LOOKINC TOWARD THE FUTURE Any one who reviews the events of the past few years will find that aviation is the outstanding industry which has forged ahead with an undiminished pace. Even during extraordin'a ry times, this industry has been most progressive and has constantly required more equipment, more men and more facilities to carry out a program of rapid expansion created by a popular demand. During the past year, scheduled airlines in the United States carried nearly 50 % more express, flew more miles and carried more passengers than in any other year since the airplane became a part of the nation's transportation facilities, according to official reports by the United States Department of Commerce. In 1927 approximately 5,000 passengers were carried on airlines. In 1936 approximately 1,000,000 people used this form of transportation. As we can judge the future only by the past, it is evident that many years of progress, expansion and continued development are ahead of this industry. New air routes are piercing the sky in every part of the world. New planes are being developed. New uses for planes-in commerce and industry-are being applied. More people are flying. More mail and express are being shipped by air. Each week, each month, finds many new and major developments. All this calls for man power-technically trained man power. The aeronautical demands of the future will be many-and the rewards will be great for those who qualify by training now. Page 2 �Military aircraft and large aircraft carriers are equally at home on San Diego Bay. Modern airliners of numerous types operate frequent daily schedules from Lindbergh Field. AVIATION AS A PROFESSION To be· sure, highly specialized flight and technical training is absolutely essential for success in aviation but it may be acquired in less time than is required for other professions, and at Jower cost, Compared with other vocations, aviation offers many advantages. Where others are overcrowded, or standing still, aviation is growing so fast that new opportunities are being constantly presented. The present aeronautical industry is but a skeleton organization of what will be required in the future. Where other professions cater to age and experience, aviation caters to youth, initiative, and ability. Aviation is a young man's profession-for years to come it will look to youth for its greatest accomplishments in administration, engineering, mechanics, manufacturing, designing and piloting. Every normal person aspires to do something outstanding in this worldto do something that will gain the respect of his fellow men. No profession holds greater opportunities than aviation-for noteworthy achievements. No profession is held in higher esteem. The men and women who have mastered the air-and the mechanics who make flying possibleare rightly regarded with respect. They have conquered more than their immediate surroundings! In former days, those who wished to learn a trade or profession were taken in their early teens and allowed to work out long years of apprenticeship. The rapid growth of aviation has made this procedure impossible in this particular industry. Page 3 �Students appreciate the well-kept planes, buildings and facilities at Ryan. The sun sets on the Pacific - as Ryan students return from a cross-country flight . THE SPORT OF SPORTS The world is small, indeed, for those who fly. Man is forgetting the shackles that have held him earth-bound so long. Space and time, or miles and hours, need no longer interfere with business engagements, interesting events or social activities in distant places. Flying is truly the sport supreme. Cood airplanes are now comparatively inexpensive and their operating cost is no greater than that of an automobile. The one indispensable requirement for complete mastery and enjoyment of the air is thorough, systematic training. There is no substitute for the confidence and safety that comes with proper instruction. For those who intend to fly at all, time and money cannot be invested to better advantage than in proper training. The Ryan School recommends to sportsman pilots the longer, more complete courses which include not only flying but also training in navigation, meteorology, radio and other interesting subjects. A SPECIAL SPORTSMAN PILOT'S COURSE The Ryan School has designed a special Sportsman Pilot's course, including ownership of a new plane and complete training. See booklet entitled "Ryan Outline of Courses and Tuition Schedules" for further details of this deluxe combination offer.

COVERNMENT REPORT to give the greatest number of flying days possible throughout the year, with suitable air, moisture, and temperature conditions, while the topography of the terrain in the vicinity should •• • contain many good landing places." Several years ago the United States Covernment was confronted with the problem of selecting a site for a military aviation training school. For such an important project, the best site possible was to be selected. So the government's vast resources were put to work on the problem. Thousands of dollars were spent. Delegations and experts were dispatched to all parts of the nation. Every conceivable angle was taken into consideration. Finally, the Secretary of War appointed a committee to make a national investigation and, after exhaustive research, this committee reported as follows: The report continues as follows: "The terrain In the vicinity of San Diego Bay, California, fulfills the foregoing conditions better than any other section of the United States. A study of the climatological data of the locations visited by the commission • • • clearly indicated that the littoral of San Diego Bay contains the best sites for the establishment of an aviation section as far as weather and air conditions are concerned • • •• The country in the vicinity of San Diego ••• shows terrain of every description from level land to mountains, and possesses characteristics that can be found in no other part of the country." "The site for the aviation school • • • should possess certain geographical, climatological, and topographical characteristics. The site should be located on an ocean or bay • • • Climatological characteristics should be such as Page 5 �North Island - as seen from a plane over Lindbergh Field, Aircraft carriers in foreground. Mooring masts and hangars for dirigibles are part of the aeronautical equipment in San Diego, SAN DIEGO-THE GOVERNMENT'S LARGEST AERONAUTICAL OPERATING BASE Since the United States Government first determined, through extensive investigation and research, that San Diego is unequalled for aviation, many important government aeronautical activities have been concentrated here. aircraft, together with extensive hangars, airplane and motor overhaul shops, instrument and propeller departments and organization headquarters necessary for these highly important functions. Huge Navy and Army aviation shops; aircraft carriers; dirigible mooring masts; supply depots, repair bases and several training fields are only a part of the United States Government's largest aeronautical operating basein San Diego. Here the government carries on daily flight maneuvers ranging from concentrated individual practice to formation flights of more than 400 planes at one time. On July 28, 1932, when the Ryan School of Aeronautics was moved to Lindbergh Field and the first group of its new buildings was dedicated, 424 planes from the Army, Navy and Marine Corps flew over this city as a part of the day's program. Today, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps aeronautical units in San Diego comprise more than 4,00 of the nation's fastest and latest type military Page 6 �Consolidated A ircra f t fac t ory on Lindbergh Field, just north of Ryan School bui ldings.

SAN DIECO-THE CENTER OF YEAR 'ROUND AERONAUTICAL ACTIVITY The ideal conditions that caused the government to establish its many aeronautical activities in San Diego have also influenced numerous other aviation developments to come here. Warmed in winter by a friendly sun and cooled in the summer by gentle breezes from the Pacific Ocean, with clear blue skies and moderate temperatures throughout the year, this city is truly an aviator's paradise. As early as 1911 , one of the first flying schools in the world was established here. From then to the present date a long list of over seventy world's records and "firsts" in aeronautical accomplishments have been added to aeronautical history in San Diego. Commercially, San Diego holds an important aeronautical position. As the most southwesterly city in the United States, it is a terminal for major airlines. It is located in the heart of America's aeronautical industrial development with a do.zen or more of the country's largest aircraft factories and overhaul units either adjacent to or within a one-hour flight from the Ryan School. In this semi-tropical clim.e the cold and climatic disturbances of winter months or the severe heat and thunder storms of summer are unknown. Page 7 �OUTSTANDINC AERONAUTICAL ACHIEVEMENTS-BY RYAN T. Claude Ryan, founder and president of Ryan School of Aeronautics, has been identified with aviation since prewar days when he first learned to fly the early pusher type of plane. He received Government training during th·e war and was commissioned with a rating of Army Pursuit pilot, In 1922 Ryan came to San Diego and established his original flying school in southern California. This aeronautical school, which has remained in continuous operation, is now the oldest in America under the management of its original founder. In 1924, he formed Ryan Airlines-the first daily scheduled year 'round intercity airline service in the United States-and was the original designer and manufacturer of Ryan monoplanes. In 1927 the Ryan Airlines, of which Claude Ryan was the founder and active head, designed and constructed in San Diego the famous "Spirit of St. Louis" which carried Charles Lindbergh on his epochal flight from New York to Paris. Through these years a superior system of training has been developed at the Ryan School of Aeronautics-a system that has prepared and placed Ryan-trained men in important aeronautical positions in nearly all parts of the world. t 'X In 1929 the Ryan School was awarded the highest approval of the United States Department of Commerce-a rating it has consistently held since that time. )( In 1932, the Ryan School of Aeronautics constructed its fine new buildings on $2,000,000 Lindbergh Field. )( In 1935, and again in 1936, quarters were enlarged, the number of instructors was increased and courses expanded to keep pace with modern requirements and the heavily increased demand for Ryan graduates, caused by the centralization of American aircraft manufacturers in Southern California. At the same time, the Ryan Aeronautical Company ( the manufacturing affiliate of the Ryan School of Aeronautics) brought out its new Ryan S-T, the most modern plane of its type on the American market. • �The "Snirlt of St. Louis" in trial flight over San Diego.

WHAT A "COVERNMENT APPROVED TRANSPORT SCHOOL" MEANS A "U.S. Covernment Approved Transport School" must meet rigid requirements regarding types of airplanes, ground school equipment, classroom facilities, extent of ground school lectures, airport lighting equipment and other features which have an important bearing on student training. Instructors must hold the "approved school" instructor's rating and must undergo periodic examination by the government. Regular reports regarding individual student records must be submitted to Washington at stated intervals. All training facilities and equipment must meet high standards set by the government and are subject to frequent inspection by Department of Commerce officials. "Covernment Approved" training must proceed on a regular basis and a student must take his final examination within ten days after completion of his course to qualify as an "Approved School" graduate. The government finds that an "Approved School" graduate is capable of passing his final tests and is qualified to receive his license after fewer hours of training than are required of students who have trained under unapproved methods. The Ryan School of Aeronautics holds the highest Covernment "Approved Transport School" rating issued by the United States Department of Commerce. This certificate covers flight and technical training for Transport~- Limited Commercial, Private and Amateur pilot's licenses. This rating has been constantly maintained not only by strict adherence to government requirements for "Approved Schools" but by the installation of additional equipment and facilities, and by exceeding all requirements, with extra instruction for practically every phase of aviation training.

Students train here under his personal direction and find that it is greatly to their advantage to be able to discuss problems with a man of his experience in aeronautics and business. Surrounding him is a staff of carefully selected instructors and company personnel. Members of the f acuity and staff aid students not only in securing thorough flight and mechanical instruction but assist in every way possible toward their well-being from the day of entering school until graduation. The average good pilot or mechanic is not necessarily a good instructor. The instructors at this school have been selected on the basis of experience and special ability to impart knowledge to the students placed in their charge. Earl D.

THE FLICHT TRAININC DEFINITE SCHEDULES Systematic schedules and thorough instruction are features of Ryan courses. In no part of the training activities is this truer than in the flight division. The weather in San Diego enables students to train without interruption thruout the entire year. All Ryan flight courses proceed step by step, stage by stage, without delays, through the fundamentals to the most advanced type of cross-country flying. A proper and ample amount of advanced dual check flying is given in all courses, and all training is carefully supervised. EXTRA TRAININC FEATURES Ryan flight courses exceed U. S. Department of Commerce "Approved School" requirements in every phase-by providing more than the stipulated flying hours. For example: The Ryan Transport course, in addition to all Department of Commerce Approved School requirements, provides extensive cross-country flying, training in and use of radio equipped plane, flight experience in a wide variety of modern aircraft, and . . . • Page 12 �)( Flying " under the hood" teaches Ryan students to rely on instruments entirely- if necessary. DIVISION-AT RYAN - INSTRUMENT OR "BLIND" FLYING This important and valuable phase of advanced training is included in all regular Ryan transport courses. The student with a "safety" pilot spends ten hours flying under a hooded cockpit. During this time, he learns to rely entirely on his ~e~ ~ntrol and direction of his planesimulating the difficult conditioa,s encountered when flying in a fog or clouds, and • • .- • Ryan students receive solo n ight fli ght trai n ing at th is comp let ely lighted ai rport. RADIO BEAM FLYING All Ryan Transport students receive special instruction on radio beam flying in radio equipped school ships. A part of this training is given under the "hood" in conjunction with the instrument or "-~ -" flying instruction. A government radio range station, located adjacent to Lindbergh Field, makes it possible for Ryan students to receive this advanced and important training under suitable conditions. The Ryan School feels that the demands of present day commercial aviation make it highly important that the transport pilot who considers himself qualified for a position should have had proper training in both blind and radio beam flight. Page 13 �An early morning takeoff on one of the school 's two-day " cross-country" flights. -,I... T. Claude Ryan awards the gold Ryan Solo Wings to a student after his first solo flight. THE FLICHT TRAININC DIVISIONCROSS-COUNTRY FLYINC One of the outstanding features of Ryan training is the extensive crosscountry flying experience included in the Transport courses. Approximately 2,500 miles are flown over all types of terrain, including mountains, desert and ocean shore. This is a type of varied experience that cannot be secured elsewhere. Flights are routed so as to give the student experience in landings and takeoffs from all types of fields. From this cross-country training he will retain never-to-be-forgotten remembrances of this invaluable flight experience in Southern California. Typical overnight journeys include flights to metropolitan San Francisco; to the Boulder Dam at Las Vegas, Nevada; to historic Death Valley; to Phoenix, Arizona; and to Ensenada in romantic Old Mexico. These student flights, under the personal direction of a school instructor, are usually made in groups of three to five ships. RADIOTELEPHONE TRAINING The Ryan School offers its students an elective course in preparation for the radiotelephone operator's licenses. For additional information, see Ryan booklet entitled "Outline of Courses and Tuition Schedules." STUDENT CONTESTS An interesting adjunct to Ryan training is the camaraderie and competition which is developed through frequent student contests at the airport. Through these flight competitions, students develop self-confidence and skill in preparation for their final flight tests given by Department of Commerce inspectors. Special student awards, such as the coveted Ryan Cold Precision medal, are given to the winners of these events.

AT RYAN (Continued) Below: Many types of school and visiting planes ore available for student use and inspection. A WIDE VARIETY OF PLANES A variety of well chosen modern aircraft is maintained for the training of Ryan students. Fundamental instruction and advanced maneuvers are given in late-type Creat Lakes planes. This is the make of ship which is so sturdily constructed that it holds the enviable world's record of 131 outside loops. Other types of aircraft available include: the ultra modern, high performance 125 H.P. Ryan S. T.; 240 H.P. four-place radio equipped Stinson; the 330 H.P. seven-place Travel Air, and the 225 H.P. five-place Ryan Brougham, as well as a number of other new and modern types which will vary from time to time. This school prides itself on maintaining its flying equipment in perfect condition. The planes have full air-wheels, brakes and complete instruments. Air-cooled motors of both radial and inline design are used exclusively. Page 15 �Page 16 STACE ONE 1. Preliminary explanat ion to student in cockpit before flying. 2.

J~ IJ, 1 ~ -~ ~""''~ ~ ~ ~ T H E TECHNICAL TRAININC DIVISION-AT RYAN WHY RYAN TECHNICAL TRAINING IS SUPERIOR There are four factors that tend to make Ryan technical training outstanding: ( 1 ) the number of important technical subjects covered in the Ryan courses and the thorough attention given to each; ( 2) the exceptional ability and experience of each instructor in his special ind chosen field; ( 3) the clean, well-lighted, well-equipped shops and classrooms in which instruction is given; (4) the opportunities to acquire "extra" aeronautical experience by contact with the many military and commercial aviation activities in San Diego. Students who enroll for Ryan "Government Approved" flight and technical courses devote the major part of each day, five days a week, Monday to Friday inclusive, at the airport. Ground school !raining is required for the majority of the courses. For specific subjects included in each course, see pages 20, 21, 22 and 23 in this catalog and also see the current Ryan booklet entitled "Outline of Courses and Tuition Schedules." Classroom sessions are held each morning from 8 :00 to 10 o'clock. The balance of the day is divided between flight training on a prearranged schedule, and shop and technical instruction. Outlines of Ryan Flight and Technical Training have been filed with the United States Government at Washington guaranteeing the complete scope of subjects given to students by Ryan courses, Pase 18 �I To fl y a plane is one th ing- to understand its construction is another -Ryan studen ts learn both. All Ryan technical training includes instruction in welding and the use of power machinery. TECHNICAL TRAINING EQUIPMENT AT RYAN Ryan School buildings, classrooms and shops are new and modern in every respect. Built of masonry and steel, they undoubtedly are the finest training quarters occupied by any civilian school of aeronautics. Attractive and orderly, these classrooms and shops are fitted with equipment costing thousands of dollars. Ryan shops include equipment and facilities for the repair and complete rebuilding of airplanes-and the manufacturing of practically every component part of an airplane. Equipment is included for the following general classifications of work: aluminum alloy structure, steel tubing structure, aluminum alloy fittings, steel fittings, wood structure, sheet metal, fabric covering, doping and finishing, and final assembly. The following machinery and special equipment is noteworthy: metal working machinery, extensive welding equipment, compressed air riveting hammers, testing appartus, heat treating equipment, two 22,000-pound drop ham- mers, woodworking machinery, power fabric machines, specially constructed doping and finishing rooms and equipment, and other devices of an extensive nature, all of which are here available for students to operate as they proceed with their practical mechanical instruction . The Ryan School shops resemble an airplane factory with its equipment and highly trained personnel. In the factory of the affiliated Ryan Aeronautical Co., completely new and experimental types of airplanes are developed, built and put through the exhaustive Department of Commerce tests for Approved Type Certificates. This includes strength testing of parts with special apparatus; sand loading of wings, control surfaces and other parts; drop testing; weighing; balancing and supervised flight testing. A "COVERNMENT APPROVED" REPAIR STATION Ryan shops exceed the standards of the U. S. Covernment for an Approved Repair Station, which is another rating that has been awarded the Ryan mechanical department.

Winter is only a name to these students who seek the shelter of a school palm from a January sun. SPECIAL FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT AT RYAN Ryan School buildings, of Spanish architecture, are set in a grove of towering California palms. The Administration Building, with its four-story tower is topped by a beacon-which spells SAN DIEGO to the night pilot. In this building are the Ryan general offices, school classrooms, accessory department, lobby and airplane display room, airline ticket offices, modern cafe, U. S. Customs and Immigration offices, U. S. airway weather bureau, Department of Commerce teletype service and U.S. Department of Commerce aeronautical inspector's headquarters. Approximately 300 feet distant, across concrete parking areas and wide paved walks, is the Ryan Aeronautical Company's factory, with modern equipment, and a production capacity of 150 planes per year: also the Ryan hangar with its extensive unobstructed floor area, Government Approved shops and repair station. In this building are housed aircraft of almost every description. Adjacent to this is the new student shop building for airplane rigging, engine overhaul, welding, wood-working and drafting departments. As an airport of entry, Lindbergh Field is the destination of all planes in this area which fly to or from Mexico and South American points. Students who are interested in commercial aeronautical activities learn by constant observation of actual conditions as planes arrive and depart at this busy airport and clear through the customs at the Ryan Administration Building. Weather bureau and teletype departments are on the second and third floors of the Ryan Administration Building. Ryan students become fully familiar with the methods used in compiling and dispatching weather forecasts to pilots in the air and to other airports throughout the United States. Headquarters for Department of Commerce inspectors are also located in this building. These officials are accessible to students who seek assistance in special problems relating to government regulations.

A WORD ABOUT LINDBERCH FIELD "The most beautiful airport in America" is the title which has frequently been given to Lindbergh Field-the home of the Ryan School of Aeronautics. This $2,000,000 municipal flying field is unique in its location and is famous as the largest airport situated adjacent to the main business district of a metropolitan area. Built on the picturesque shore of San Diego bay, it is only one mile from the center of the downtown area, as well as excellent residential sections. This airport was named in honor of Col. Lindbergh and his epochal flight to Paris in his San Diego-built Ryan monoplane. Extensive paved areas fronting all buildings, paved runways, fencing for protection to the public, telescoping loading canopies, landing area for seaplanes, and complete lighting facilities for night flying are some of the features that make this one of the most popular airports in America. Directly across San Diego bay, approximately one mile away, is North Island with its tremendous government aeronautical activities. Lindbergh Field is the southern terminal of transcontinental airlines and is also the Son Diego home of the U. S. Army Air Corps Reserve and the aviation unit of the U. S. Coast Guard. It fronts on Pacific Boulevard, one of the city's main thoroughfares. Easily accessible by street car or motor transit, it is also within easy walking distance of private homes where Ryon students obtain excellent living accommodations at extremely reasonable cost. The huge buildings which comprise the new home of the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation are located immediately north of the Ryon buildings. This airplane factory, rated as the second largest in the world is engaged in building giant flying boots for long distance trans-oceanic service. Page 25 �Lindbergh Field is within walking distance of San Diego's residential and business sections. An esprit de corps prevails among Ryan students which lingers through later years of achievement. SETTING HICH STANDARDS Student standards at a school are usually in accord with the standards which the school sets for them. The thorough courses, long-established reputation, and modern buildings, equipment and facilities at the Ryan School have attracted to it a high type of student personnel. These students have come from homes throughout the United States as well as many foreign countries where they have learned that the quality of a product is determined by the responsibility and reliability of its sponsors. Ryan courses appeal to students who seek the finest training with minimum expense. SAFETY MEASURES This school has established an unsurpassed record for student safety during its 14 years of existence due to thorough, conservative training methods to which it steadfastly adheres. All planes and equipment are kept in perfect condition under the constant surveillance of a highly efficient maintenance department. Every plane undergoes routine inspection daily. Department of Commerce regulations require that students wear parachutes during the practice of necessary aerobatics. Seat pack parachutes are used instead of cushions in Ryan student planes. These parachutes are inspected by a licensed parachute rigger every sixty days, and an electrically heated storage cabinet keeps them in constant perfect condition. NO BONDS REQUIRED The tuition quoted for each course covers all training costs including the full use of planes and instruction equipment. No bond or insurance is required. Page 26 �The Ryan School 's 225 H.P. to 330 H.P. four- to seven- place cabin planes exceed by a wide margin , the United States Department of Commerce requirements for government approved transport instruction. PLANES FOR FLICHT EXAMINATIONS Under the Ryan system of training, frequent flight tests and examinations are given. After the necessary hours of flight instruction, final tests are given by the Department of Commerce for government licenses. Ryan students are privileged to use school planes for these examinations-without extra charge- and, upon passing their tests, are awarded their government pilot's license immediately. CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS INSTRUCTION Students with previous training at other schools frequently enroll at Ryan for the more advanced instruction available here. Such students are given credit for the training received elsewhere, allowance being made for intervening elapse of time, types of ships flown, quality of instruction previously received, and other factors which have a bearing on the acceptance of such students into this school on an "approved" basis. When inquiring, list in detail the extent and nature of previous training. Before such credit can be allowed toward a government approved course, a flight test must be given by the school's chief flight instructor, and his recommendations submitted to the Department of Commerce inspector for approval. CRADES AND REPORTS Careful grades are recorded showing the progress of students in both flight and technical departments. A passing grade of at least 70 % is necessary to graduate or to secure a Covernment license from the United States Department of Commerce. Students enrolling for courses which include the Master Mechanic's instruction, must have a grade of 75 % before receiving the final three months practical experience in the Ryan Aeronautical Company factory, on a pay basis. See Ryan folder "Outline of Courses" for factory work plans. IS PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT ADVISABLE? Classes, including flying and ground school activities, begin at 8 :00 o'clock in the morning and continue until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This allows very little time for part-time employment, except in the Ryan factory as above mentioned. The school recommends that students make necessary financial arrangements for tuition as well as board and room before coming to San Diego. By so doing, they can take full advantage of their training opportunities and devote the time necessary for intensive study or observation of the many aeronautical activities which are open to them in this city.

It prefers to have its students enjoy the privacy of individual rooms in attractive private homes near the airport. The school has a variety of suitable accommodations to which students are personally directed by the registrar upon their arrival in San Diego. Many of these homes are located approximately eight blocks from the airport, midway between the school and famous Balboa Park-scene of the famous 1935-36 San Diego Expositions-and now one of the nation's most beautiful recreation centers. Single rooms in this choice residential section range from $10 to $15 per month. Many of the students secure their meals at the airport cafe in the Ryan Administration building. Students who prefer to reduce their expenses may do so by securing room and board in recommended private homes for approximately $30 to $35 per month. By special arrangements with the Y. M. C. A. and the San Diego Athletic Club, Ryan students are also privileged to select single rooms with either of these organisations at extremely reasonable prices for the accommodations offered. Those who prefer the exclusive accommodations of a club will find the single rooms and full club privileges at the San Diego Club to be superior to hotel facilities. Both the San Diego Club and the Y. M. C. A. are in the downtown section of the city, about two miles from the airport. Page 28 �Sailing is a favorite sport on the smooth waters of San Diego Bay-adjoining Lindbergh Field. Student dances in the Ryan building and week-end outings afford interesting diversion. RECREATION AND ATHLETICS The Ryan School believes in fostering wholesome recreation of an inexpensive nature for its students. At frequent intervals he entire student body and school organization participate in such activities as swimming, picnics, horseback rides, roller skating parties, moonlight boat rides and dances. The city maintains free tennis courts and golf links and students who enjoy these sports are advised to bring necessary personal equipment. In addition, the school furnishes to -each student a membership in the Y. M. C. A. with full use of complete athletic facilities including swimming pool and gymnasium, without cost to him. Here students meet to take part in competitive basketball, handball, squash, swimming, etc. The Pacific ocean or smooth waters of San Diego harbor provide sailing, motor boating, aquaplaning, swimming and deep sea fishing. Agua Calientean internationally popular resort, situated just below the Mexican border, only 17 miles away-provides the lover of horses with one of the country's fastest tracks. Students who drive their cars to the school will find California paved highways taking them through nearby timbered regions of mile-high mountain parks, along the shores of the blue Pacific, or over the flower-bedecked floor of the desert below sea level. Here is nature's playground at its best • • • Blending the history of early Spanish days in California with modern opportunities and accomplishments; blending gentle ocean breezes with great natural facilities for rest and recreation; blending aviation training with the joy of good living. No wonder aeronautical students and experienced travelers come to San Diego from all parts of the globe! There's so much to see, so much to do, so much to learn and enjoy. Page 29 �The nearby surf and ocean beaches afford count!ess hours of healthful relaxation. In San Diego, ocean, orchards, and mountains bask in the luxury of a semi-tropical sun. PLACEMENT OF GRADUATES No reputable college, university, or technical school will represent itself as guaranteeing positions for its students. Cuaranteeing a position to a student in advance of training, and even in advance of personal acquaintance with the applicant, indicates a poor understanding of necessary qualifications or a deliberate use of unethical methods for the sole purpose of inducing students to enroll at a school. The Ryan School of Aeronautics will not guarantee a position in advance to a student. However, it will guarantee to give one of the most thorough courses of commercial aeronautical training that it is possible for the student to obtain. Ryan enterprises and Ryan courses are held in the highest regard by the aviation industry. Because of this, contacts are frequently made through this school that could not otherwise be established-and each Ryan student is assured that every reasonable effort will be made to place him in the branch of work he desires to follow. For the recommended graduates of Ryan courses, particularly those which include the Master Mechanics instruction, there is a greater demand than the school is able to supply. Though the Ryan School has never promised a position to a student in advance of training, it is justly proud of the large number of former students and graduates who are now holding important positions in the aeronautical industry-not only in the United States but in foreign countries as well. It is evident that the aeronautical industry recognizes that the Ryan School has always attracted a higher type of student personnel. Ryan graduates, invariably, are assets in positions which require dependability, skill and sound judgment. Students who wish to engage in independent aeronautical operations after graduation are urged to give special consideration to the Ryan Deluxe Combination Course. This course gives the student the finest of Trapsport instruction-and a modern new airplane, at a considerable saving in cost. With these assets he can conduct commercial operations and develop the many opportunities presented by airports where trained pilots are needed with initiative and modern planes. Page 30 �San Diego , one of the fastest growing cities in the U. S., is proud of its metropolitan skyline. By special arrangement, Academy cadets receive aeronautical training at Ryan. SAN DIEGO ARMY & NAVY ACADEMY AFFILIATION subjects which they have not completed in high school or in college, may Mutually recognizing the value of aviation in the training of modern youth, take advantage of special night classes at the State College in San Diego or at the San Diego High School. These classes cover a variety of academic subjects and are usually held two evenings each week in the main San Diego High School buildings, which are located approximately two miles from the Ryan School. Arrangements for this type of training can best be completed after st\ldent's arrival in San Diego. There is no tuition charge for these courses. an affiliation has been made between the Ryan School of Aeronautics and the San Diego Army and Navy Academy. This nationally recognized military school is one of only two such schools on the Pacific Coast which are Junior Units of the R. 0. T. C. and hold the Class M-"essentially military"-classification from the War Department. Now, students who wish, may enroll here for complete academic training through high school and junior college grades under the selected advantages of well supervised boarding school regulations and at the same time arrange for government approved daily flight and ground school instruction at Ryan. Special details will be mailed upon request. ADVANCED ACADEMIC TRAINING Students who do not wish the complete academic training of a Military Academy, but who wish to augment their aeronautical training by courses in FOREIGN STUDENTS The Ryan School of Aeronautics is approved by the United States Department of Immigration and Labor for the training of non-quota immigrant students. Prospective students from foreign countries are requested to write to the Ryan School immediately, stating course for which they intend to enroll and approximate date when they will leave for the United States. A special letter stating that they will be accepted at Ryan as a non-quota student will be forwarded to them to present with their application for passport. Page 31 �!£¥v··· \& . ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS HOW TO ENROLL Students of good moral character, over 16 years of age, are accepted for enrollment. While a high school education is not essential, this amount of previous training, or its equivalent in practical experience, is beneficial if the student wishes to receive the maximum of value from his instruction. Flight students are required to pass the physical examination as prescribed by the U. S. Department of Commerce. The name and address of your nearest authori:z:ed examining physician will be forwarded to you upon request. However, if this is not convenient, students may defer this examination until their arrival in San Diego. Students under 21 should send for a special card to be signed by parent or guardian before physical examination can be given. The Department of Commerce authori:z:es a $10.00 charge for this examination. Although it is not compulsory, it is advisable to mail your application for enrollment to the school in advance. No deposit is required with this application. Indicate the course you wish to take and, if possible, the date and hour of your arrival by boat, train or plane, so a school representative can meet you and assist with preliminary arrangements and living accommodations. DIPLOMAS Each Ryan graduate receives an individually inscribed parchment diplomawith the gold seal of the school, and signatures of the president and chief instructor thereon; also a valuable Certified Log Book of flying time, which sets forth the student's record as a pilot.

LOOKING TOWARD THE FUTURE Any one who reviews the events of the past few years will find that aviation is the outstanding industry which has forged ahead with an undiminished pace. Even during extraordinary times, this industry has been most progressive and has constantly required more equipment, more men and more facilities to carry out a program of rapid expansion created by a popular demand. During the past year, scheduled airlines in the United States carried nearly 50 % more express, flew more miles and carried more passengers than in any other year since the airplane became a part of the nation's transportation facilities, according to official reports by the United States Department of Commerce. In 1927 approximately 5,000 passengers were carried on airlines. In 1933 more than 500,000 people used this form of transportation. As we can judge the future only by the past, it is evident that many years of progress, expansion and continued development are ahead of this industry. New air routes are piercing the sky in every part of the world. New planes are being developed. New uses for planes-in comm,e rce and industry-are being applied. More people are flying. More mail and express are being shipped by air. Each week, each month, finds many new and major developments. All this calls for man power-technically trained man power. The aeronautical demands of the future will be many-and the rewards will be great for those who qualify by training now. Page 2 �Military aircraft and large aircra ft carriers are equally at home on San Diego Bay. Modern ai r liners of numerous types operate frequent daily schedules from Lindbergh Field . AVIATION AS A PROFESSION To be sure, highly specialized flight and technical training is absolutely essential for success in aviation but it may be acquired in less time than is required for other professions, and at lower cost. Compared with other vocations, aviation offers many advantages. Where others are overcrowded, or standing still, aviation is growing so fast that new opportunities are being! constantly presented. The present aeronautical industry is but a skeleton organization of what will be required in the future. Where other professions cater to age and experience, aviation caters to youth, initiative, and ability. Aviation is a young man's profession-for years to come it will look to youth for its greatest accomplishments in administration, engineering, mechanics, manufacturing, designing and piloting. Every normal person aspires to do something outstanding in this worldto do something that will gain the respect of his fellow men. No profession holds greater opportunities than aviation-for noteworthy achievements. No profession is held in higher esteem. The men and women who have mastered the air-and the mechanics who make flying possibleare rightly regarded with respect. They have conquered more than their immediate surroundings! In former days, those who wished to learn a trade or profession were taken in their early teens and allowed to work out long years of apprenticeship. The rapid growth of aviation has made this procedure impossible in this particular industry. Page 3 �The sun sets on the Pacific - as Ryan students return from a cross-country flight. Sportsmen appreciate the well - kept planes, buildings and facilit ies at Ryan . THE SPORT OF SPORTS The world is small, indeed, for those who fly. Man is forgetting the shackles that have held him earth-bound so long. Space and time, or miles and hours, need no longer interfere with business engagements, interesting events or social activities in distant places. Flying is truly the sport supreme. Good airplanes are now comparatively inexpensive and their operating cost is no greater than that of an automobile. The one indispensable requirement for complete mastery and enjoyment of the air is thorough, systematic training. There is no substitute for the confidence and safety that comes with proper instruction. For those who intend to fly at all, time and money cannot be invested to better advantage than in proper training. The Ryan School recommends to sportsman pilots the longer, more complete courses which include not only flying but also training in navigation, meteorology, radio and other interesting subjects. A SPECIAL SPORTSMAN PILOT'S COURSE The Ryan School has designed a special Sportsman Pilot's course, including ownership of a new plane and complete training. See booklet entitled "Ryan Outline of Courses and Tuition Schedules" for further details of this deluxe combination offer.

AN IMPORTANT U. S. COVERNMENT REPORT to give the greatest number of flying days possible throughout the year, with suitable air, moisture, and temperature conditions, while the topography of the terrain in the vicinity should .•• contain many good landing places. " Several years ago the United States Covernment was confronted with the problem of selecting a site for a military aviation training school. For such an important project, the best site possible was to be selected. So the government's vast resources were put to work on the problem. Thousands of dollars were spent. Delegations and experts were dispatched to all parts of the nation. Every conceivable angle was taken into consideration. Finally, the Secretary of War appointed a committee to make a national investigation and, after exhaustive research, this committee reported as follows: The report continues as follows: "The terrain in the vicinity of San Diego Bay, California, fulfills the foregoing conditions better than any other section of the United States. A study of the climatological data of the locations visited by the commission . . • clearly indicated that the littoral of San Diego Bay contains the best sites for the establish1nent of an aviation section as far as weather and air conditions are concerned .••• The country in the vicinity of San Diego • .• shows terrain of every description from level land to mountains, and possesses characteristics that can be found in no other part of the country. " "The site for the aviation school .•• should possess certain geographical, climatological, and topographical characteristics. The site should be located on an ocean or bay • • • Climatological characteristics should be such as Page 5 �North Island- as seen from a plane over Lindbergh Field. Aircraft carriers in foreground. Mooring masts and hangars for dirigibles are part of the aeronautical equipment in San Diego. SAN DIEGO-THE GOVERNMENT'S LARGEST AERONAUTICAL OPERATING BASE Since the United States Government first determined, through extensive investigation and research, that San Diego is unequalled for aviation, many important government aeronautical activities have been concentrated here. comprise more than 300 of the nation's fastest and latest type military aircraft, together with extensive hangars, airplane and motor overhaul shops, instrument and propeller departments and organization headquarters necessary for these highly important functions. Here the government carries on daily flight maneuvers ranging from concentrated individual practice to· formation flights of more than 400 planes at one time. On July 28, 1932, when the new buildings of the Ryan School of Aeronautics were dedicated, 424 planes from the Army, Navy and Marine Corps flew over Jhis city as a part of the day's program. Huge Navy and Army aviation shops; aircraft carriers; dirigible mooring masts; supply depots, repair bases and several training fields are only a part of the United States Government's largest aeronautical operating basein San Diego. Today, the Army, Navy and Marine Corps aeronautical units in San Diego Page 6 �RYAN At no other place in the world will one see such diversified year 'round flying activity. Planes from Central and South America base regularly at the Ryan School of Aeronautics. SAN DIECO-THE CENTER OF YEAR 'ROUND AERONAUTICAL ACTIVITY The ideal conditions that caused the government to establish its many aeronautical activities in San Diego have also influenced numerous other aviation developments to come here. Warmed in winter by a friendly sun and cooled in the summer by gentle breezes from the Pacific Ocean, with clear blue skies and moderate temperatures throughout the year, this city is truly an aviator's paradise. As early as 1911 , one of the first flying schools in the world was established here. From then to the present date a long list of over seventy world's records and "firsts" in aeronautical accomplishments have been added to aeronautical history in San Diego. Commercially, San Diego holds an important aeronautical position. As the most southwesterly city in the United States, it is the southern and western terminal for major airlines with connecting links throughout the United States and south into Mexico and South America. In this semi-tropical clime the cold and climatic disturbances of winter months or the severe heat and thunder storms of summer are unknown. These are some of the reasons why the Ryan School of Aeronautics is located in San Diego. Page 7 �OUTSTANDINC AERONAUTICAL ACHIEVEMENTS-BY RYAN T. Claude Ryan, founder and president of Ryan School of Aeronautics, has been identified with aviation since prewar days when he first learned to fly the early pusher type of plane. He received Government training during the war and was commissioned with a rating of Army Pursuit pilot. In 1922 Ryan came to San Diego and established his original flying school in southern California. This aeronautical school, which has remained in continuous operation, is now the oldest in America under the management of its original founder. In 1924, he formed Ryan Airlines-the first daily scheduled year 'round intercity airline service in the United States-and was the original designer and manufacturer of Ryan monoplanes. In 1927 the Ryan airlines, of which Claude Ryan was the founder and active head, designed and constructed in San Diego the famous "Spirit of St. Louis" which carried Charles Lindbergh on his epochal flight from New York to Paris. Through these years a superior system of training has been developed at the Ryan School of Aeronautics-a system that has prepared and placed Ryan-trained men in important aeronautical positions in nearly all parts of the world. X In 1929 the Ryan School was awarded the highest approval of the United States Department of Commerce-a rating it has consistently held since that time. X In 1932, the Ryan School of Aeronautics constructed its fine new buildings on $2,000,000 Lindbergh Field. Page 8 �The "Spirit of St. Louis" in trial flight over San Diego.

Ryan students witness frequent massed flights ; 424 planes passed in review when Ryan buildings were dedicated . WHAT A "COVERNMENT APPROVED TRANSPORT SCHOOL" MEANS A "U. S. Covernment Approved Transport School" must meet rigid requirements regarding types of airplanes, ground school equipment, classroom facilities, extent of ground school lectures, airport lighting equipment and other features which have an important bearing on student training. Instructors must hold the "approved school" instructor's rating and must undergo periodic examination by the government. Regular reports regarding individual student records must be submitted to Washington at stated intervals. All training facilities and equipment must meet high standards set by the government and are subject to frequent inspection by Department of Commerce officials. "Covernment Approved" training must proceed on a regular basis and a student must take his final examination within ten days after completion of his course to qualify as an "Approved School" graduate. The government finds that an "Approved School" graduate is capable of passing his final tests and is qualified to receive his license after fewer hours of training than are required of students who have trained under unapproved methods. The Ryan School of Aeronautics holds the highest Covernment "Approved Transport School" rating issued by the United States Department of Commerce. This certificate covers flight and technical training for Transport, Limited Commercial, Private and Amateur pilot's licenses. This rating has been constantly maintained not only by strict adherence to government requirements for "Approved Schools" but by the installation of additional equipment and facilities, and by exceeding all requirements, with extra instruction for practically every phase of aviation training.

Claude Ryan is the president and active head of this school which bears his name. Students train here under his personal direction and find that it is greatly to their advantage to be able to discuss problems with a man of his experience in aeronautics and business. Surrounding him is a staff of carefully selected instructors and company personnel. Members of the faculty and staff aid students not only in securing thorough flight and mechanical instruction but assist in every way possible toward their well-being from the day of entering school until graduation. The average good pilot or mechanic is not necessarily a good instructor. The instructors at this school have been selected on the basis of experience and special ability to impart knowledge to the students placed in their charge. Page 11 T. Claude Ryan V Earl D.

THE FLIGHT TRAINING DEFINITE SCHEDULES Systematic schedules and thorough instruction are features of Ryan courses. In no part of the training activities is this truer than in the flight division. The weather in San Diego enables students to train without interruption thruout the entire year. All Ryan flight courses proceed step by step, stage by stage, without delays, through the fundamentals to the most advanced type of cross-country flying. A proper and ample amount of advanced dual check flying is given in all courses, and all training is carefully supervised. Page 12 EXTRA TRAINING FEATURES Ryan flight courses exceed U. S. Department of Commerce "Approved School" requirements in every phase-by providing more than the stipulated flying hours and other features not required by the Department of Commerce. For example: The Ryan Transport course, in addition to all required subjects, provides seaplane and amphibian flying, training in and use of radio equipped plane, flight experience in a wide variety of modern aircraft, and • • •• �X Ryan students receive ~ rii_g_!,t flig1t training at this completely ligh'lecl airpor . Flying "under the hood" teaches Ryan students to rely on instruments entirely-if necessary. DIVISION-AT RYAN INSTRUMENT OR "BLIND" FLYING This important and valuable phase of advanced training is included in all regular Ryan transport courses. The student with a "safety" pilot spends t~n hours flying under a hooded cockpit. During this time, he learns to rely entirely on his instruments for the control and direction of his planesimulating the difficult conditions encountered when flying in a fog or clouds, and • • • • RADIO BEAM FLYING All Ryan Transport students receive special instruction on radio beam flying in radio equipped school ships. A part of this training is given under the "hood" in conjunction with the instrument or "blind" flying instruction. A government radio range station, located adjacent to Lindbergh Field, makes it possible for Ryan students to receive this advanced and important training under suitable conditions. The Ryan School feels that the demands of present day commercial aviation make it highly important that the transport pilot who considers himself qualified for a position should have had proper training in both blind and radio beam flight. Page 13 �T. Claude Ryan awards the gold Precision Medal to a student for outstanding performance. THE FLIGHT TRAINING DIVISIONCROSS-COUNTRY FLYING One of the outstanding features of Ryan training is the extensive crosscountry flying experience included in the Transport courses. From 2,500 · to 3,000 miles are flown over all types of terrain, including mountains, desert and ocean shore. This is a type of varied experience that cannot be secured elsewhere. Flights are routed so as to give the student experience in landings and takeoffs from all types of fields. From this cross-country training he will retain never-to-be-forgotten remembrances of this invaluable flight experience in Southern California. Typical overnight journeys include flights to metropolitan San Francisco; to the Boulder Dam at Las Vegas, Nevada; to historic Death Valley; to Phoenix, Arizona; and to Ensenada in romantic Old Mexico. These student flights, under the personal direction of a school instructor, are usually made in groups of three to five ships. RADIOTELEPHONE AND RADIOTELEGRAPH TRAINING The Ryan School offers its students two elective courses in preparation for the radiotelephone and radiotelegraph operator's licenses. For additional information, see Ryan booklet entitled "Outline of Courses and Tuition Schedules." STUDENT CONTESTS An interesting adjunct to Ryan training is the camaraderie and competition which is developed through frequent student contests at the airport. Through these flight competitions, students develop self-confidence and skill in preparation for their final flight tests given by Department of Commerce inspectors. Special student awards, such as the coveted Ryan Cold Precision medal, are given to the winners of these events.

AT RYAN '(Continued) A WIDE VARIETY OF PLANES A variety of well chosen modern aircraft is maintained for the training of Ryan students. Fundamental instruction and advanced maneuvers are given in late-type Great Lakes planes. This is the make of ship which is so sturdily constructed that it holds the enviable world's record of 131 outside loops. Other types of aircraft available include : the famous Ryan Brougham cabin plane with Whirlwind motor ; Challenger powered Curtiss; Kinner powered Savoia-Marchetti amphibian; late type Wacos and a special high~ rformance ultra-modern low-wing ship for advanced training, as well as number of other new and modern types which will vary from time to time. This school prides itself on maintaining its flying equipment in perfect condition. The planes have full air-wheels, brakes and complete instruments. Air- cooled motors of both radial and inline design are used exclusively. Page 15 �Page 17 OUTLINE OF RYAN FLIGHT TRAINING Page 16 STACE ONE 1.

The experience which Ryan students receive in the shop is practical as well as thorough. THE TECHNICAL TRAINING DIVISION-AT RYAN WHY RYAN TECHNICAL TRAININC IS SUPERIOR There are four factors that tend to make Ryan technical training outstanding: ( 1 ) the number of important technical subjects covered in the Ryan courses and the thorough attention given to each; ( 2) the exceptional ability and experience of each instructor in his specialized chosen fie·ld; ( 3) the clean, well-lighted, well-equipped shops and classrooms in which instruction is given; ( 4) the opportunities to acquire "extra" aeronautical experience by contact with the many military and commercial aviation activities in San Diego. Students who enroll for Ryan "Covernment Approved" flight and technical courses devote the major part of each day, five days a week, Monday to Friday inclusive, at the airport. Cround school training is required for the majority of the courses, unless the student has had previous instruction at another accredited school. Classroom sessions are held each morning from 8: 15 to 10 o'clock. The balance of the day is divided between flight training on a prearranged schedule, and shop and technical instruction. Outlines of Ryan Flight and Technical Training have been filed with the United States Covernment at Washington guaranteeing the complete scope of subjects given to students by Ryan courses. For specific subjects included in each course, see pages 20 and 21 in this catalog and also see the Ryan booklet entitled "Outline of Courses and Tuition Schedules." Page 18 �Metal replaces wood and fa bric in modern ai rplanes. Ryan students keep pace with latest developm ents. A ll Ryan t echnical train ing includes instruction in welding and the use of power machinery. TECHNICAL TRAININC EQUIPMENT AT RYAN Ryan School buildings, classrooms and shops are new and modern in every respect. Built of masonry and steel, they undoubtedly are the finest training quarters occupied by any civilian school of aeronautics. Attractive and orderly, these classrooms and shops are fitted with equipment costing thousands of dollars. Ryan shops include equipment and facilities for the repair and complete rebuilding of airplanes-and the manufacturing of practically every component part of an airplane. Equipment is included for the following general classifications of work: aluminum alloy structure, steel tubing structure, aluminum alloy fittings, steel fittings, wood structure, sheet metal, fabric covering, doping and finishing, and final assembly. The following machinery and special equipment is noteworthy: metal working machinery, extensive welding equipment, compressed air riveting hammers, testing apparatus, heat treating equipment, woodworking machinery, power fabric machines, specially constructed doping and finishing rooms and equipment, and other devices of an extensive nature, all of which are here available for students to operate as they proceed with their practical mechanical instruction. The Ryan School shops resemble an airplane factory with its equipment and highly trained personnel. It is here that completely new and experimental types of airplanes are developed, built and put through the exhaustive Department of Commerce tests for Approved Type Certificates. This includes strength testing of parts with special apparatus; sand loading of wings, control surfaces and other parts; drop testing; weighing; balancing and supervised flight testing. A "COVERNMENT APPROVED" REPAIR STATION Ryan shops exceed the standards of the U. S. Covernment for an Approved Repair Station, which is another rating that has been awarded the Ryan mechanical department.

PRACTICAL This division of Ryan training is of vital importance to student mechanics and is also highly valuable for student pilots who wish to receive complete instruction. It is strongly recommended by the school for student pilots although it is not compulsory under the "Approved School" regulations of the Department of Commerce. This instruction consists of actual experience on airplanes in the Ryan shops under the direction of skilled instructors or mechanics who direct the students' individual activities. "Dummy" equipment, of an obsolete nature, has no place in this school. Students learn to do by doing, under expert supervision, the same duties that they will later be called upon to perform as licensed mechanics. Airplanes on which students work are modern ships in regular service or undergoing overhaul. Varying types include land and seaplanes, high speed ships, large cabin planes and autogiros. Page 22 �r Ryan technical training is approximately 40% engines, 40% airplanes, 20% allied subjects. Ryan fabric and dope rooms have extensive equipment and special drying and ventilating facilities.

Weather Bureau, in the Ryan tower, gives valuable assistance to students and visiting pilots. SPECIAL FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT AT RYAN Ryan School buildings, of Spanish architecture, are set in a grove of towering California palms. The Administration Building, with its four-story tower is topped by a beacon-which spells SAN DIEGO to the night pilot. In this building are the Ryan general offices, school classrooms, accessory department, lobby and airplane display room, airline ticket offices, modern cafe, U. S. Customs and Immigration offices, U. S. airway weather bureau, Department of Commerce teletype service and U.S. Department of Commerce aeronautical inspector's headquarters. Approximately 300 feet distant, across concrete parking areas and wide paved walks, is the Ryan hangar with its extensive unobstructed floor area, Government Approved shops and repair station. In this building are housed aircraft of almost every description. As an airport of entry, Lindbergh Field is the destination of all planes in this area which fly to or from Mexico and South American points. Students who are interested in commercial aeronautical activities learn by constant observation of actual conditions as planes arrive and depart at this busy airport and clear through the customs at the Ryan Administration Building. Weather bureau and teletype departments are on the second and third floors of the Ryan Administration Building. Ryan students become fully familiar with the methods used in compiling and dispatching weather forecasts to pilots in the air and to other airports throughout the United States. Headquarters for Department of Commerce inspectors are also located in this building. These officials are accessible to students who seek assistance in special problems relating to government regulations. Page 24 �[I The Ryan School is conveniently located- a short distance from San Diego's business center. Portion of crowd at one of the m id-w inter fl yi ng events staged a n nu a 11 y by Ryan students. A WORD ABOUT LINDBERCH FIELD "The most beautiful airport in America" is the title which has frequently been given to Lindbergh Field-the home of the Ryan School of Aeronautics. This $2,000,000 municipal flying field is unique in its location and is famous as the largest airport situated adjacent to the main business district of a metropolitan area. Built on the picturesque shore of San Diego bay, it is only one mile from the center of the downtown area, as well as excellent residential sections. This airport was named in honor of Col. Lindbergh and his epochal flight to Paris in his San Diego-built Ryan monoplane. Extensive paved areas fronting all buildings, paved runways, fencing for protection to the public, telescoping loading canopies, landing area for seaplanes, and complete lighting facilities for night flying are some of the features that make this one of the most popular airports in America. The constant orderliness and lack of dust are contributing factors in the proper upkeep of Ryan aircraft and the maintenance of student flying activities under ideal conditions. Directly across San Diego bay, approximately one mile away, is North Island with its tremendous government aeronautical activities. Lindbergh Field is the terminal of national and international airlines. It fronts on Atlantic Boulevard, one of the city's main thorofares. Easily accessible by street car or motor transit, it is also within easy walking distance of private homes where Ryan students obtain excellent living accommodations at extremely reasonable cost. Page 25 �Ryan student planes are equipped with modern, carefully maintained, seat-type parachutes. From the loggia, students see constantly an aerial review of military and commercial planes. SETTINC HICH STANDARDS Student standards at a school are usually in accord with the standards which the school sets for them. The thorough courses, long-established reputation, and modern buildings, equipment and faciHties at the Ryan School have attracted to it a high type of student personnel. These students have come from homes throughout the United States where they have learned that the quality of a product is determined by the responsibility and reliability of its sponsors. Ryan courses appeal to students who seek the finest training with minimum expense. SAFETY MEASURES This school has established an unsurpassed record for student safety during its 12 years of existence due to thorough, conservative training methods to which it steadfastly adheres. All planes and equipment are kept in perfect condition under the constant surveillance of a highly efficient maintenance department. Every plane undergoes routine inspection daily. Department of Commerce regulations require that students wear parachutes during the practice of necessary aerobatics. Seat pack parachutes are used instead of cushions in Ryan student planes. These parachutes are inspected by a licensed parachute rigger every sixty days, and an electrically heated storage cabinet keeps them in constant perfect condition. NO BONDS REQUIRED The tuition quoted for each course covers all training costs including the full use of planes and instruction equipment. No bond or insurance is required. Page 26 �Beautiful Balboa Park is only a mile from the Ryan school and five blocks from student rooms. Winter is only a name to these students who seek the shelter of a school palm from a January sun. PLANES FOR FLICHT EXAMINATIONS Under the Ryan system of training, frequent flight tests and examinations are given. After the necessary hours of flight instruction, final tests are given by the Department of Commerce for government licenses. Ryan students are privileged to use school planes for these examinations-without extra charge- and, upon passing their tests, are awarded their government pilot's license immediately. CREDIT FOR PREVIOUS INSTRUCTION Students with previous training at other schools frequently enroll at Ryan for the more advanced instruction available here. Such students are given credit for the training received elsewhere, allowance being made for intervening elapse of time, types of ships flown, quality of instruction previously received, and other factors which have a bearing on the acceptance of such students into this school on an "approved" basis. When inquiring, list in detail the extent and nature of previous training. CRADES AND REPORTS Careful grades are recorded showing the progress of students in both flight and technical departments. A passing grade of at least 70 % is necessary to graduate or to secure a Covernment license from the United States Department of Commerce. Definite reports regarding each of its government approved students are forwarded by the school to Washington, D. C., at regular intervals. IS PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT ADVISABLE? An examination of the Ryan daily schedule for students reveals that classes, including flying and ground school activities, begin at 8: 15 o'clock in the morning and continue until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. This allows very little time for part-time employment. The school recommends that students make necessary financial arrangements for tuition as well as board and room before coming to San Diego. By so doing, they can take full advantage of their training opportunities and devote the time necessary for intensive study or observation of the many aeronautical activities which are open to them in this city. Page 27 �Even a pilot will get a thrill from aquaplaning on San Diego Bay. The San Diego Club offers Ryan students exclusive club privileges at moderate cost. The nearby surf and ocean beaches afford countless hours of healthful relaxation. WHERE RYAN STUDENTS LIVE The Ryan School does not maintain a dormitory system. It prefers to have its students enjoy the privacy of individual rooms in attractive private homes near the airport. The school has a variety of suitable accommodations to which students are personally directed by the registrar upon their arrival in San Diego. Many of these homes are located approximately eight blocks from the airport, midway between the school and famous Balboa Park-scene of the California-Pacific International Exposition-and now one of the nation's most beautiful recreation centers. Single rooms in this choice residential section range from $10 to $1 5 per month. The majority of students secure their meals at the airport cafe in the Ryan Administration building. Students who prefer to reduce their expenses may do so by securing room and board in private homes at a cost of approximately $25 to $3 5 per month. By special arrangements with the Y. M. C. A. and the San Diego Athletic Club, Ryan students are also privileged to select single rooms with either of these organizations at extremely reasonable prices for the accommodations offered. The Y. M. C. A. reserves a portion of one floor where Ryan students can obtain single rooms for approximately $12 per month, or a large double room for $10 each per month. Those who prefer the exclusive accommodations of a club will find the single rooms and full club privileges at the San Diego Club to be superior to hotel facilities. Both the San Diego Club and the Y. M. C. A. are in the downtown section of the city, about one mile from the airport. Page 28 �- Student dances in the Ryan building and week - end outings afford interesting diversion. RECREATION AND ATHLETICS The Ryan School believes in fostering wholesome recreation of an inexpensive hature for its students. At frequent intervals the entire student body and school organization participate in such activities as swimming, picnics, horseback rides, roller skating parties, moonlight boat rides and dances. The city maintains free tennis courts and golf links and students who enjoy these sports are advised to bring necessary personal equipment. In addition, the school furnishes to each student a membership in the Y. M. C. A. with full use of complete athletic facilities including swimming pool and gymnasium, without cost to him. Here students meet to take part in competitive basketball, handball, squash, swimming, etc. The Pacific ocean or smooth waters of San Diego harbor provide sailing, motor boating, aquaplaning, swimming and deep sea fishing. Agua Calientean internationally popular resort, situated just below the Mexican border, only 17 miles away-provides the lover of horses with one of the country's fastest tracks. Sailing is a favorite sport on the smooth waters of San Diego Bay-adjoining Lindbergh Field . Students who drive their cars to the school will find California paved highways taking them through nearby timbered regions of mile-high mountain parks, along the shores of the blue Pacific, or over the flower-bedecked floor of the desert below sea level. Here is nature's playground at its best . . . Blending the history of early Spanish days in California with modern opportunities and accomplishments; blending gentle ocean breezes with great natural facilities for rest and recreation; blending aviation training with the joy of good living. No wonder aeronautical students and experienced travelers come to San Diego from all parts of the globe! There's so much to see, so much to do, so much to learn and enjoy. Page 29 �I n San Diego, ocean, orchards, and mountains bask in the luxury of a sem i-tropical sun . Brush up on your Spanish- for Mexico and famous Agua Caliente is only seventeen miles away. PLACEMENT OF GRADUATES No reputable college, university, or technical school will represent itself as guaranteeing positions for its students. Guaranteeing a position to a student in advance of training, and even in advance of personal acquaintance with the applicant, indicates a poor understanding of necessary qualifications or a deliberate use of unethical methods for the sole purpose of inducing students to enroll at a school. The Ryan School of Aeronautics will not guarantee a position in advance to a student. However, it will guarantee to give one of the most thorough courses of commercial aeronautical training that it is possible for the student to obtain. Ryan enterprises and Ryan courses are held in the highest regard by the aviation industry. Because of this, contacts are frequently made through this school that could not otherwise be established-and each Ryan student is assured that every reasonable effort will be made to place him in the branch of work he desires to follow. Though the Ryan School has never promised a position to a student in advance of training, it is justly proud of the large number of former students and graduates who are now holding important positions in the aeronautical industry-not only in the United States but in foreign countries as well. It is evident that the aeronautical industry recognizes that the Ryan School has always attracted a higher type of student personnel. Ryan graduates, invariably, are assets in positions which require dependability, skill and sound judgment. Students who wish to engage in independent aeronautical operations after graduation are urged to give special consideration to the Ryan Deluxe Combination Course. This course gives the student the finest of Transport instruction-and a modern new airplane. With these assets he can conduct commercial operations and develop the many opportunities presented by airports where trained pilots are needed with initiative and modern planes.

SAN DIECO ARMY & NAVY ACADEMY AFFILIATION subjects wh_ich they have not completed in high school or in college, may , Mutually recognizing the value of aviation in the training of modern youth, take advantage of special night classes at the State College in San Diego or at the San Diego High School. These classes cover a variety of academic subjects and are usually held two evenings each week in the main San Diego High School buildings, which are located approximately two miles from the Ryan School.
