Rising Aviation High School Goes North (In Texas) To Prepare Youth For A Career In Aviation

Making a career in aviation is the primary goal of Rising Aviation High School’s flight training facility, which recently opened its doors at Addison Airport (KADS) in Texas, located 7nm north of Dallas Love Field (KDAL). 

FOX4, the local TV station reported that Rising Aviation’s goal is to make a career in aviation accessible to everyone. Rising Aviation’s principal and lead CFI Brian Fitzgerald added that their students will graduate with a GED and also a remote (drone) or private pilot certificate.

Rising Aviation’s fleet includes the Diamond DA40, Evektor’s Harmony LSA, and an Advanced Simulator.  They are looking to add an Aviation Camp/Pilot Camp in the future where those interested can immerse themselves in the week-long program where they will gain hands-on experience in the simulator and aircraft while learning about instrumentation, navigation, and aeronautics, weather, and aviation safety. 

For those not interested in the flying side of things, thanks to a partnership with Monarch Air, an Aircraft Charter Operation and Management program that offers exposure to flight and passenger scheduling, aircraft maintenance tracking, marketing, finance, flight planning, customer service, and even Part 135 regulation compliance!

Rising Aviation, a Private High School, is a 501c(3) non-profit STEM.org accredited educational entity that accepts charitable donations in the paper, plastic, stock/property, in-kind, and utilizes partnerships and fundraising programs to finance its activities.  STEM.org is the longest continually operating privately-held STEM education research organization in the United States. 

Subject to funding, Rising Aviation High plans to open a second facility at the Dallas Executive Airport (KRBD), approximately 17nm south of their current base.
