The FedEx Aeronautics Academic Center (FAAC) is a state-of-the-industry educational facility. By nature of the operation, the facility naturally lends itself to teaching and learning opportunities for students. The FAAC and the 91�ֿ� Airport (1Golf3) co-exist, creating a dynamic, real-life and hands-on training where upon graduation, our students soar, wings out, toward a future they had a hand in creating.

Professional Pilots in Pursuit of Passion and Purpose

The foundation of the Professional Pilot program is the 1:1 instruction with a Certified Flight Instructor and in an aircraft. This individualized instruction is imperative to the students’ academic, personal, and professional success.
