No commute is necessary when moving from the classroom to the flightline. The Kansas State University Salina campus is located adjacent to the Salina Regional Airport providing students a 12,300-foot runway - one of the longest in the country - as their training facility. The property is also home to crosswind and parallel runways.
K-State offers flight training at IXD, designed for students who want a flight-focused program paired with online education. Limited enrollment allows students to spend more time in the air and less time waiting to fly. A dedicated and concentrated flight schedule provides an efficient way to earn FAA ratings.
With professional flight instructors, cutting edge applied research, and unique flight instruction locations, the Kansas State University Salina campus is your choice for UAS training opportunities. Courses are available to help prepare you for the FAA knowledge exam, develop or enhance your flight skills, and collect and process quality data and imagery.
K-State Salina makes flying affordable
More than 80% of K-State Salina students receive financial assistance, so paying for tuition and flight hours is attainable. In fact, our campus has many gracious supporters of the aviation program who have gifted a variety of scholarships, some specifically to help with flying. We also accept the GI Bill®, which could cover the entire cost of education, depending on a veteran's service.
