Through this program you will learn to use one of the most effective missionary tools of the last century, enabling God’s message of hope to travel into the remote corners of the earth. While airplanes are readily available, capable and willing personnel are becoming increasingly scarce. Our Mission Aviation program directly addresses this need and offers cross-cultural and ministry training not emphasized in most other flight programs.

Upon completion of your degree you will have received a Private Pilot License with a night rating, a Commercial Pilot License, a Remote Responder First Aid Certificate and wilderness survival training, as well as your choice of Single or Multi-Instrument Rating or Instructor Rating.
