Marshall University Breaks Ground on Bill Noe Flight School at Yeager Airport
The ceremonial groundbreaking for Marshall ’ s Bill Noe Flight School .
In August , Marshall University broke ground on its new Bill Noe Flight School at Yeager Airport , which involves the construction of a 10,500-square-foot classroom building and a 12,000-square-foot hangar .
The university is currently in the process of applying to the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) to start a Part 141 pilot school . Pending FAA approval , Marshall anticipates offering a commercial pilot bachelor ' s degree . Students will complete the flight school ’ s FAA curriculum at Yeager Airport and the general education courses at Marshall ' s South Charleston campus . Marshall is also planning a two-year aviation maintenance degree program in partnership with Mountwest Community and Technical College to be located at the Huntington Tri-State Airport .
The school will help meet the nation ’ s projected significant need for commercial pilots over the next 20 years . Its ground and flight courses will lead to a series of FAA certifications and will prepare graduates to become commercial pilots of single- and multi-engine aircraft . When fully operational , the Bill Noe Flight School will have approximately 200 students and graduate 40 commercial pilots each year .
“ The development of this program is truly an investment in our beautiful Mountain State ,” says Marshall President Jerome Gilbert . “ Aviation will pump a great deal of money into our economy , which will benefit us all . Truly , diversification of educational opportunities at Marshall , like aviation , pharmacy and biomechanical engineering , will draw students from across the country to our state .”
The university has ordered three Cirrus SR20 single-engine airplanes to start its fleet . The aircraft feature a whole-airplane parachute that , when deployed in the event of an emergency , will safely lower the plane to the ground .
