The Lewis "Flyers"

The Lewis University Flight Team is a school funded team that competes against over 80 other schools in the country. It's an excellent way to improve your aviation skills while developing the ability to work in a high energy team environment.

Each fall Lewis competes against other regional schools in various ground and flight events. Events include preflight, simulator, area navigation, power off and power on landings, message drop, E6B, SCAN and Crew Resource Management. The best 2 or 3 teams in each region earn invitations to compete at Nationals.

The Lewis University Flight Team has ranked as high as 5th in the nation.
