JCC Set to Begin Flight Training in Adrian

            Jackson Community College announced today that JCC's Aviation Flight Technology Program, the largest of its kind in the United States, is set to provide flight training at the Lenawee County Airport beginning next week.

            The program will provide the residents of the Lenawee County area with the opportunity to receive flight training designed for both personal and career goals, in a structured, professional environment.  Registration for flight training will begin October 22.

            JCC, who initiated their flight-training program in Jackson in 1979, will bring to the Lenawee County Airport the same flight-training program that has flown over 54,000 accident-free hours and over 6,250,000 accident-free miles at their Jackson base.  New 2001 Cessna 172R aircraft will be utilized as well as other JCC aircraft including a twin-engine Piper PA34 Seneca.  Ground schools to accompany the flight training will take place at JCC's Lenawee Center.

            "We're looking forward to bringing college-level flight training to the Lenawee County area," Frazier said.  "We're excited to be a part of the Lenawee community."

            According to Frazier, one exciting element of this new satellite operation is, when used in conjunction with core courses taken at JCC's Lenawee Center, residents of the Adrian area will be able to complete their requirements for a degree in Aviation Technology without leaving Lenawee County.

            For more information on this or any of JCC's aviation programs, contact David Frazier at the JCC Flight Center, (517) 787-7012, or Jeff Fisher at the Lenawee County Airport (517) 265-8993.
