The Aviation Center of the State Higher Vocational School (PWSZ) in Chełm has received new three aircrafts for future trainings.

The university fleet has been enhanced by two new AT-3 aircrafts and the twin-engine Tecnam P2006, a second-generation aircraft with retractable landing gear, equipped with an autopilot, modern avionics and all systems currently used in aircraft – informed the Rector of the PWSZ in Chełm, Dr Eng. Arkadiusz Tofil, Prof. of PWSZ in Chełm.

The PWSZ Aviation Center in Depułtycze Królewskie has nearly 18 aircrafts, of which 12 are the property of the university. Money for the purchase of new aircrafts is received mainly from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

In September, the construction of a concrete runway began at the PWSZ airport. It will have a huge impact on the training possibilities of the university, because the new aviation infrastructure will extend the time of using the airport by students, as well as it will enable the landing of larger machines.
