About Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics
The school was opened by Glenn Curtiss and Orville Wright in 1927 as Curtiss-Wright Flying Service, and became PIA in 1929. It offers “hands-on” training for traditional and non-traditional students in Aviation Maintenance, Aviation Electronics, Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) and Heavy Equipment Operating. The instructional staff combines their real world experience with class room instruction for an outstanding education. PIA also provides a wide range of student services while the student is in school, and after graduation.  The Placement Department works one on one with the students to reach their employment goals. PIA is often the first stop for many employers looking for quality employees.

PIA offers an Associate in Specialized Technology Degree at its West Mifflin, PA location and Diploma programs in Youngstown, OH, Hagerstown, MD, and Myrtle Beach, SC.  There is open enrollment through the year accompanied with admissions requirements.
