Wings Aviation Services announces a new relationship with Embry-Riddle Minneapolis campus.

 

Part of the dramatic growth strategy of Minnesota’s premier flight training and aircraft maintenance provider now includes the degree offerings of America’s top-rated aeronautical university.

Wings Aviation, St. Paul’s premier flight school, has joined forces with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Minneapolis campus. This new alliance will provide the flight school students at Wings the opportunity to pursue four-year undergraduate degrees, Master’s Degrees and even Doctorate Degrees through Embry-Riddle’s courses in aeronautical sciences. Students enrolled in Embry-Riddles programs can now take advantage of the flight training delivered in Wings Aviation’s state-of-the-art fleet of aircraft.
Wings Aviation features the latest avionics and aircraft platforms from Cirrus Design, Cessna and advanced training for adverse attitude recovery in Citabria and Extra 300 aircraft. In addition the instructors at Wings Aviation can train pilots in the newest Light Sport Aircraft from REMOS. This new category provides students the opportunity to earn a Sport Pilot Certificate in as few as twenty hours with no medical exam required.Embry Riddle
