"The progressive pilot training curriculum offered by UND combined with the advanced Piper training aircraft are ideally crafted to meet the airline industry’s growing demand for well-trained pilots with exceptional aviation skills.”
“The Piper trainers that we are adding to our fleet are equipped with state-of-the-art Garmin G1000 NXi avionics, which offer faster processing power, wireless cockpit connectivity, and a variety of other features that help improve situational awareness and make learning in the cockpit more efficient.” said Paul Lindseth, Dean of the Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences at the University of North Dakota.
