Key Takeaways:

The Pilot Proficiency Center (PPC), a joint venture of SAFE and NAFI, has moved to a new, permanent 15,000-square-foot facility attached to the EAA Museum at AirVenture 2022.
This new location shifts the PPC's operational model from casual drop-ins to pre-scheduled, four-hour "theme days" focused on specific aviation skills like IFR or backcountry flying, accessible via shuttle from the main showgrounds.
Named Project 21, the permanent facility highlights EAA's commitment to year-round aviation education, providing advanced training with Redbird AATDs and classroom space for EAA chapters and type clubs outside of AirVenture events.

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.
