Accelerated Aviation Instruction

Accelerated Aviation Instruction is a flight school at Degner Regional Airport in Owatonna, Minnesota. The school provides both accelerated and flexible flight training programs for students seeking private, commercial, and instrument ratings. It also offers certified flight instructor courses and multi engine add on training.

The school uses a one to one teaching model. Each student works with a single instructor and has access to an assigned aircraft throughout the training day. This structure is designed to reduce delays and keep the student focused on consistent daily progress.

Accelerated course timelines vary by certificate. Private pilot training typically takes 14 to 21 days. Instrument rating courses run 10 to 14 days. Commercial pilot certification can be completed in 14 to 21 days. The multi engine add on takes three days. For students who prefer a slower pace, Flex Flight programs allow training at a personalized schedule.

The fleet includes Cessna 150 and 152 aircraft, Piper Warriors and Archers, a Cessna 182, and Piper Apache and Geronimo twin engine trainers. Several trainers are used for instrument flight rules instruction. The school also uses a Redbird LD simulator for simulator work. Federal Aviation Administration certified mechanics maintain the fleet to factory standards.

Students train in airspace near Minneapolis, Rochester, Mankato, and Mason City, Iowa. This location provides exposure to Class B, C, and D airspace within about one hour of flight time. The airport has an ILS approach and the Halfway VOR for instrument practice.

The school partners with Purdue Global to offer college credit for aviation ratings. Students who complete the Zero to CFI Pro Pilot Program may be eligible for 40 or more college credits. These credits can apply toward aviation degrees or elective credits in non aviation degree programs.

Additional services include finish up courses for transfer students, a time building program, and initial CFI, CFII, and MEI certification courses. The school also provides multi engine instructor add ons and a professional path track for career minded pilots.
