Students get familiar from the beginning with the same type of cockpit environment they will be using on the newer commercial aircrafts.

QSynthetic Vision Technology - Using sophisticated graphics modeling, the system recreates a 3-D “virtual reality” database landscape on the pilot and copilot PFDs. Thus, Garmin SVT enables you to clearly visualize nearby flight and enroute navigation features - even in solid IFR or night time VFR condition.

QFuel - Diamond airplanes use diesel and Jet A1 fuel instead of Av-Gas used by other trainers and are fuel efficient. Moreover, AV-Gas is not readily available in Nigeria. With easy access to Jet A1 fuel at our base, Ilorin airport, there is no downtime, increasing flying time for students.

The ICAO has recently requested that all contracting states require all their certified airmen to be certified as fluent in Aviation English to Level 4 proficiency. The IAC, in cooperation with Kwara State University, will offer a course in Aviation English to any interested party that applies. At the conclusion of the course, the required testing will be accomplished and the individual will be certified to ICAO Level 4 English Proficiency.

AVIATION SAFETY

International Aviation College will offer aviation safety conference in locations within Nigeria. This is designed to provide information for airline and corporate aviation managers and flight crew personnel. A veteran international panel of speakers will present important information for improvement of aviation safety in Africa. Topics will range from CRM, anti-terrorism to accident investigation and prevention.

THREAT AND ERROR MANAGEMENT (CREW RESOURCE MANAGEMENT)

Eight-five percent (85%) of all aircraft accidents are caused by operator (pilot) error. All US and many international airlines have developed cutting edge Threat and Error Management programs to reduce the human mistakes that result in aircraft accidents and the resulting loss of lives. CRM has been credited with major reduction in these pilot error, hence accidents. IAC in cooperation with leading international airlines, will present the latest CRM techniques and procedures in a three-day CRM conference available to all African airline and corporate aviation management and operations personnel.

COLLEGE, ILORIN

As much as International Aviation College would like to make pilot training affordable and accessible to everyone, the cost of training pilots runs high. Consequently, International Aviation College is continuously in touch with State Governments, Local Governments, Airlines, Oil and Gas Companies, private individuals and other corporate organization to assist in student sponsorship.

However, some other established scholarship programs within the aviation training industry include:

WOMEN WITH WINGS (WWW)

Bessie Coleman would not be deterred. In November 1920, Coleman headed to France. Several months later, she became the first African American woman in the world to earn an international pilot’s license from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. She spent her life following her dream. She blazed a path that women aviators have followed ever since. Women with Wings (WWW) was created with the goal of sponsoring a female student from Nigeria. International Aviation College strongly encourages females in our program. Our goal is to have forty percent (40%) of each classroom filled with young female aviators.

SPONSORSHIP

COMPANY

This program is designed for airline and oil industry employers. An employer would guarantee a loan to cover the training fees for a number of qualifying students. At the end of the training, the sponsored candidates would be employed by the sponsored employer for a number of years, during which the loan would be repaid from the sponsored student’s income. This is a win-win program where the student gets quality training and a job, while the sponsor has a skilled employee at a lower cost when compared to hiring from overseas.

SPONSORSHIP

LOW INCOME STUDENT

US President Thomas Jefferson once said, “...the children of the poor must be thus educated at common expense.” However, even today, many students cannot attend a college or university. This financial aid program is design to sponsor a student from a low income family.

SPONSORSHIP

STATE GOVERNMENT

This sponsorship is provided by state and local governments for their indigenous citizens based upon each state/city criterion.
