All of your VA and school enrollment will be done through Lake Superior College. Most classes and your flight instruction will be conducted at the Lake Superior College Center for Advanced Aviation facilities. Additional classes may be conducted on the main campus— just ten minutes away from our and the Center for Advanced Aviation facilities.
All students are scheduled to fly the required hours to reach proficiency for each certificate and/or rating they are working toward. If you require additional flight time than allowed by the course, you may be responsible for those additional costs.
The Post 9/11 GI Bill® is for veterans who have served after 9/11. Depending on how much time you served or were active after 9/11, the VA will pay up to 100% of your tuition and fees at a degree-granting school.

The Math is Simple
Better Equipment
You’ll be trained with some of the most advanced and safe flight training equipment on the market including our fleet of Cirrus SR20 aircrafts, Redbird Full Motion Flight Simulators, and Dual Engine Piper Seminole Aircraft.
Accelerated Training
With our 2-year program, you’ll be out of training and into your new career faster than the traditional 4-year college flight training route. This is done while still achieving 200 flight hours (the same as a 4-year program). To accomplish this you get to fly twice as often with less waiting between lessons.
