The Aviation Professional Pilot Program from the Lane Aviation Academy at the Lane Community College is based at the Eugene Airport. This compact site, combined with the area’s cloudy weather conditions, offers great all-around training without crowded skies.
In addition to Piper and Cessna aircraft, the college offers a couple of AATD simulators, plus a pair of BATD simulators. With the college quoting an average salary of six figures per annum for pilots, co-pilots, or aircraft engineers, it’s an excellent career path.
Lane Aviation Academy’s Aviation Professional Pilot Program can pave the way to a lucrative and rewarding career in flying. FAA certification is included, and it’s possible to become an FAA Certified Commercial Pilot. Via the school’s associate degree program, you can also obtain your Certified Flight Instructor certificate with instrument instructor rating or multi-engine land rating.
The entire program takes two years to complete. Teaching at Lane is an option after graduating, either as the first step into instruction or to accrue the hours required to work as a commercial pilot.
