"Thanks so much for your help in helping me graduate. I have seen many different flight schools and there is no doubt that Sinclair has one of the best. I have learned 100 times the knowledge that I thought I would have received from a two-year program and am very grateful. Again THANKS!!!

Sinclair offers one of the most comprehensive aviation technology programs in the state and in the nation. Graduates can choose to continue their education in aviation or transfer to an aerospace university. Sinclair's associate degree pilot training clusters and technical certificate programs prepare graduates for careers as pilots, mechanics, flight attendants, aircraft dispatchers, managers, and unmanned aerial systems operators.
	The Aviation Technology department has a unique partnership with Aviation Sales, Inc. (ASI), one of the region's most respected pilot training organizations. This partnership provides for the training of professional airline pilots, through Sinclair Community College, at the Wright Brothers Airport.

Outstanding simulation hardware is utilized in our pilot programs. We train under part 141 and are authorized to provide flight training for those with VA Benefits. Our new Redbird Flight Simulator incorporates state-of-the-art glass cockpit training in addition to our GAT-II Simulator used for spatial disorientation training.

What are the objectives of the Aviation Technology program?

The Aviation Technology program builds essential practical knowledge in the areas of professional pilot, aviation maintenance, airway science, flight attendant, and flight dispatcher careers.

What are the prospects for those interested in aviation?

The demand for major airline pilots is now greater than pre 9-11 levels, and the demand for general aviation are at an all-time high. The use of interstate commerce has increased the demand for cargo pilots for companies like UPS, Federal Express, ABX Air, and the United States Postal Service. A shift in business travel from the major airlines to executive-size aircraft has created a new increase in the number of pilot jobs available. This change in airline passenger and cargo traffic, along with an expected wave of retirements, will provide many job opportunities for new pilots and for flight instructors at all levels of the aviation industry.
