Summer Flight Program
Private Pilot 9-week Summer Program

Do you want to jump-start your career in aviation?

If so, "take off" with Utah State University's Flying Aggies!

Flying Aggies is a fun way to spend your summer earning your Private Pilot license. The program is designed for upcoming and graduating high school seniors interested in learning to fly; however, anyone who is eligible and interested in aviation is welcome to participate.

In addition to earning a Private Pilot license, students will also complete six college credits applicable to Utah State University's Professional Pilot Program. Students will participate in ground school and flight training daily. As part of the curriculum students will also participate in weekly group study sessions supervised by Utah State University's own team of Certified Flight Instructors.

This program includes everything students will need for the program's 9-week duration including: tuition, flight fees, pilot supplies, headset, all for one reasonable price. Federal Financial Aid is available to those students who qualify.
