New Building Front

Front Entrance

Roadside arrivals enjoy the convenience of a sheltered drop off leading to the main entrance while flight arrivals have separate public and student 'ramp-side' entrances to facilitate traffic flow. Each entrance leads to a separate lounge area.

Classrooms

Across the main gallery, double glass doors lead to three classrooms for ground school, seminars, or study hall.  Each classroom is wired with drop-down screens that extend remotely from the ceiling for computer generated presentations, TV screens for cable, DVD, or VHS visuals, and a classic oversized dry-erase board.


NAIA Instructor Office
Flight Instructor's Work Areas

Comfortable furnishings complete the learning experience for both student and instructor. Across the hall from the classrooms is the flight instructor's hall. Flight instructors each have an individual partitioned work station to hold their one-on-one pre & post flight briefings or extended sessions with their students.



NAIA Instructor Office

A joint-use conference room is available for both the school and those needing a private meeting place; this room is also equipped with all the items available in the classrooms.

 

 


Naia's Facilities
Operation Tower

One of the more unique features is the facility's Unicom Operation Tower. Even though the airport does not have a FAA control tower, trained employees have an exceptional view of all ground and aerial activity around the terminal area from this two-story, 360 degree viewing tower. From here pilots receive exceptional traffic and airport advisories as well as more efficient ground support services.
