Key Takeaways:

The Pilot Proficiency Center (PPC) has moved to a new, permanent 15,000-square-foot facility attached to the EAA Museum, signifying EAA's commitment to year-round pilot education and proficiency training.
For AirVenture, the PPC will shift from walk-in traffic to pre-registered "theme days" (e.g., IFR, backcountry) offering a comprehensive 4-hour experience, with shuttle service provided from the main showgrounds.
The new facility, equipped with multiple Redbird AATDs and classroom space, will operate year-round, developing curriculum and offering programs for pilots, EAA chapters, and type clubs beyond the AirVenture event.

The Pilot Proficiency Center (PPC), a joint venture of the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE) and the National Association of Flight Instructors (NAFI), has a new home at EAA AirVenture. With the opening of AirVenture 2022, the PPC will be in its permanent location attached to the EAA Museum.

New Location, New Procedures

For the past few years, the PPC has been located on the “four corners,” a crossroads in the heart of the showgrounds at AirVenture, where it was easy to find and get to. This year, there will be a shuttle running from the main showgrounds to the museum.
