The three Alaskan students above attended the first FAA Flight Service Initial-Alaska Course conducted since 2004 and was taught at the Kenai Flight Service Station located in Kenai, Alaska. Prior to this course these students attended a 5 week Air Traffic Basics course followed by a 3 week Initial Weather Analysis, Radar, and Satellite course (Course 55254001, Class 59409) conducted at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma.

Below are the FSS students with their class instructors, course evaluators, and instructional system specialists (ISS) that were present at graduation. The evaluators and ISSs were required to monitor the course for accuracy. Since it was last taught at the FAA Academy, 7 years ago, the course has undergone major modifications to accommodate the newer OASIS operating system and current Alaskan procedures.
