“We’re excited to open our doors of this beautiful new flight training center to our students and the San Diego community,” said Matthew Johnston, President of California Aeronautical University. “The new facility features classrooms, dedicated space for flight planning, direct access to the ramp, our Redbird flight simulator, and plenty of room to grow.”

CAU offers fast-paced, career-focused degree programs to prepare students for careers in aviation, including its flagship Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics degree program. Designed for those who want to fly professionally, students can earn six certificates and ratings along with their degree and graduate in about three years.

With such a rich community of veterans, active military members, and other aspiring pilots, we’re honored to partner with these students on their aviation journey and look forward to helping them reach their career goals.”
