Lake Superior College Center for Advanced Aviation

If you want to become a professional pilot in two years or less then this is the program for you. The Professional Pilot Degree program is designed to meet the needs of students who plan a career as a pilot in commercial aviation. The program leads to FAA certification as a pilot with private, instrument and commercial certificates, and for those training in airplanes, you will earn a multiengine rating as well. Both airplane and helicopter students will have attended ground school and will have taken the FAA knowledge exams for Certified Flight Instructor and Instrument Flight Instructor ratings with the option to accomplish the required flight training as an add-on at the end of the program. We can also provide the flight training required for the Certified Flight Instructor and Instrument Instructor ratings in both airplanes and helicopters and the required flight training for the airplane Multi-Engine Instructor rating.

Our Professional Pilot Diploma program is an accelerated aviation training track that includes all of the same aviation classes and flight training as our AAS degree minus the general education requirements.  This program is designed to meet the needs of the individual who is interested in earning the FAA certificates and ratings but doesn't have a need for the degree.  This program is ideal for those who already have a college degree or are in a career change transition. 

As with all of our training, individual flexibility in scheduling makes achieving your aviation goals attainable.  Whether you are interested in a traditional college track of training or are here to refresh your flying skills, we have experienced flight instructors and a top notch fleet to deliver results.  While we use a proven ground and flight training syllabus, we have the flexibility to adapt a training schedule to meet the needs of different styles of learning and the busy schedules of working adults with our Personalized Training program.
