Developing Aviation Professionals
Flight Fee Reduction for ALL Andrews University Flight students - $11,200 Scholarship
ALL new students entering the Associates in Aviation Maintenance will receive a $14,000 APS Scholarship for up to two years!
With its own airfield within walking distance from campus, Andrews University offers a competitive aviation program. The aviation department operates a fleet of single-engine Piper Archers, a Piper Arrow and a Piper Seminole for flight training courses. All aircraft are professionally maintained by the departments' FAA-certified mechanics.
Students wishing to enter a non-flying aviation career, may limit their specialization to Aviation Maintenance.
If you are looking for a hands-on, interactive, innovative, and multi-disciplinary “drone” program, then look into the Unmanned Arial Systems Technology (UAST) minor at Andrews University. We offer Part 107 support, electronic guidance systems, mission planning strategies, safety, and communication systems to successfully operate as a professional industry standard drone operator.

The Piper Aztec that was flown over (by Harry Lloyd & Bill Smith) from Andrews to Papua New Guinea in 1979 was being used in Irian Jaya in 1982 along with a number of other mission aircraft, including an Aero Commander twin.
A short video that’s part of the General Aviation Manufacturers Association video series about careers in the general aviation manufacturing and maintenance industry debunks the myth that careers in GA are repetitive and boring.
“Too often people think of a job in the manufacturing industry as entailing repetitive work requiring little skill with minimal opportunity for professional growth,” said GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce. “We hope that giving the public a behind-the-scenes look at our member companies and watching talented and enthusiastic industry professionals share their stories will shift people’s perception and inspire them to consider a career in our dynamic industry.”
