At IAA, flight training is our passion; a passion to make your training enjoyable and informative; a passion to make you a safe and competent pilot. We teach college level ground school FAA courses at six community colleges in the Chicagoland area as well as at our hangar facility, located in West Chicago, Illinois, equipped with a Lasergrade, computerized, FAA testing center. Our flight training department, located at the opposite end of our expertly-maintained hangar, provides a quiet aviation environment with a “club” feel.
