With its headquarter in Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, CAFUC, covering a total area of over 15500mu, has four flight training sub-colleges in Xinjin, Guanghan, Luoyang and Mianyang and two air terminals in Luoyang and Suining. It has set up 7 colleges, including College of Flight Technology, College of Air Traffic Control, College of Aviation Engineering, College of Air Transport Management, College of Computer Science, College of Foreign Languages, and College of Cabin Attendants, Sports Department, Simulator Training Center, Aero Engine Maintenance Training Center, Aircraft Repair Plant, Sanxing General Airline Co., Ltd., and Chinese Civil Aviation Scientific Research Base. Now CAFUC has more than 8000 full-time students. It has formed an educational pattern of “flight orientation and comprehensive development” and become the largest “university of civil aviation” in Asia with world reputation.In the past 50 years CAFUC accumulates abundant experiences and possesses over 500 flight or other specialty teachers with precise teaching style and exquisite technology, among which those with senior professional title account for about 30%. Of flight instructors 59 are granted the Meritorious Pilot title and some 100 are awarded golden, silver or copper medals of safe flying, accounting for 26% and 44% of the total respectively, and those whose safe flying hours is above 4000 account for 80%.
