Course Information

How many schools offer the convenience of an airplane waiting right outside your door?

Your flight training begins your first week at Lewis. No waiting. Your two-hour flight block three times a week with your flight instructor will expedite the process to earn your wings. Plus, unlike many universities, Lewis gives you academic credit for any FAA pilot certificates or ratings you have already earned to accelerate your flying career.

Certified by the FAA under both Federal Aviation Regulations part 61 and 141, Lewis' flight program provides a wide range of training and certification - meaning you can complete your training in less time and for less money. You will not only learn the intricate skill of flying, but build a strong background in aerodynamics, propulsion systems, aircraft systems and aircraft performance, preparing you to successfully pass the written, oral and practical examinations required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to receive your pilot license and ratings.

By graduation, you will be qualified for a career as a professional pilot, flight engineer, flight operations manager or aviation safety inspector for the FAA, having earned your:

  • Private Pilot Certificate

  • Instrument Rating and Commercial Pilot Certificates for Single and Multi-Engine Airplanes

  • Flight Instructor Airplane Certification

  • Flight Instructor Instrument Certification

Lewis University's aviation flight program was recently ranked #4 nationally by Best Value Schools.
