Unfortunately, we are unable to offer rentals at this time due to our high volume of student training. 

The CTE Aviation Program for high school students is a collaborative effort between the local school district and Three Rivers Aero, designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary for careers in aviation. Through this partnership, students are introduced to both manned and unmanned aircraft operations, gaining a solid foundation in aviation theory and hands-on flight training.

The program includes a comprehensive curriculum that covers flight operations, airspace regulations, weather, navigation, and safety. Students will be fully prepared to take the FAA Private Pilot Knowledge Test by studying subjects such as flight theory, aircraft systems, aerodynamics, and aviation regulations. Additionally, students will receive instruction in unmanned aerial systems (UAS), preparing them to pass the Part 107 Drone Operations Test, which qualifies them as commercial drone pilots.

If you are an interested high school student in the St. Joseph County District, contact your councilor for more information.

Three Rivers Aero is always growing. We are committed to building a strong aviation community and we are constantly looking for ways to expand and connect. 

In the future, you can expect ground school classes/workshops, new additions to our fleet and crew, and fun events like fly-ins and collaboration with local businesses.
