A Little About Our History

Auburn university Aviation was established in 1942 as the Auburn School of Aviation, a department of the School of Engineering responsible for instruction, research, and extension activities in flight education and related aviation subjects. The school served a major function in its early days in training civilian pilots for service in the Army Air Corps during World War II. Since that time the School of Aviation has grown with the Aviation industry and has trained pilots for service in the Army Air Corps for all segments of aviation, both civil and military. Today, Auburn University Aviation operates as a separate Department and its Aviation Management curriculum, and to students in all other departments who choose aviation courses as electives. In addition, Auburn University Aviation provides flight training to people in the surrounding communities. The flight school is operated under FAA approval as an Air Agency, and has authority for examining its own graduates. Flight training is conducted under FAR Part 141 and FAR Part 61.
