Baylor University Flight Center
Universal Flight Concepts operates the Baylor University Flight Center, located approximately 20 minutes away from Baylor campus - 7727 Karl May Drive (click for directional map) - out of the Waco Regional Airport (ACT). Opening its doors in the Fall of 2019, the Baylor University Flight Center offers Baylor Aviation Science majors a one-of-a-kind integrated pilot training system that is unique in the world of collegiate aviation, using three different aircraft models from only one manufacturer – Tecnam - in addition to all Tecnam-specific simulators for fixed-wing airplane training. Robinson aircraft and simulators are used for rotary-wing helicopter training.
Students have the ability to train in a fleet of brand new, modern Tecnam or Robinson aircraft adding more versatility and room to expand our program to meet the national demands for trained pilots.
