AURORA AVIATION ACADEMY
GAZE BEYOND THE HORIZON
We believe that freedom and self-actualization rest in the exploration of the world beyond the horizon.
We'll get you there, passion or career choice!
Our Mission
Aviation should be a life-changing experience available for everyone!
Too often do we see potential pilot candidates unable to pursue their path in aviation due to the astronomical investment of finance and time.
The "one size fits all" mentality from most flight schools is another unspoken burden on the student in this industry.
Thus, we made it our mission to contribute to our aviation community by becoming one of the most transparent flight schools in the industry.
And we can confidently say that not everyone learns the same way!
Therefore, we take pride in catering to all different types of learning styles by our continuous structured evaluation of students throughout their training.
After all, "Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel." - Socrates
