Smarter Aviation Training
with Simulation

Learning to fly solely in the cockpit can be time-consuming and expensive. Lenoir Community College combines real-world flight training with advanced simulation to provide a smarter, more affordable path to becoming a skilled pilot. Manned Aviation students build expertise in:

  • Crew resource management
  • Safety management systems
  • Aircraft systems, performance, and weather
  • Technically advanced aircraft
  • Human factors

Students can log hours in LCC’s Advanced Aviation Training Device to meet FAA pilot rating requirements. Mastering maneuvers in the simulator translates into cost savings for the student pilot!

CONTINUE TO BUILD ON YOUR
EDUCATION BY TRANSFERRING

Lenoir Community College has articulation agreements in place with several four-year universities to give you credit for coursework completed at Lenoir. You can continue your studies in aviation or diversify your education into other fields that support your aviation passions. Be sure to discuss your educational pathway options with your advisor.
