Airplane Training Campuses | Hillsboro Aero Academy

Professional airplane pilot training at two dedicated campuses

Our airplane pilot career training takes place on two campuses in Oregon in the spectacular Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Each has their own unique identity and flight environment, but both offer top-notch facilities for ground and simulator training, experienced flight instructors, and diverse and well-maintained aircraft fleets.

Hillsboro (HIO) Campus

Our Hillsboro Campus is just west of Portland, Oregon, consistently named one of the ten most livable cities in the US. Nestled in a broad valley between mountain peaks and less than 60 miles from the Pacific Ocean, this campus features a temperate year-round climate and the diverse weather and terrain that aspiring airline pilots need to build the skills that employers are seeking.

The campus is also only 90 minutes from the beach, which can make for a perfect weekend getaway. With nearby student housing available, you can also connect with other Hillsboro students and become part of the community.

Redmond (RDM) Campus

Located in the world-renowned outdoor playground of Central Oregon, our Redmond Campus boasts abundant year-round sunshine in a high desert environment among Cascade peaks, but enough weather diversity to create the real-life instrument flying conditions that students need.

The campus features convenient student housing with close proximity to various dining and shopping options. Located just north of the major outdoor destination of Bend, OR, this campus is the ideal setting for the outdoor enthusiast, from summer hikes in the Cascade peaks to world-class skiing in the winter.
