UVAU GA (Ulyanovsk Aviation Higher School of Civil Aviation (Institute)) is a budgetary federal educational state institution of professional higher education (flight school), located in the city of Ulyanovsk.
On September 16, 1935, a training center was established in Ulyanovsk, which was intended for the retraining and training of civil aviation flight crews.
On July 1, 1983, in accordance with Decree No. 97 of the Minister of Civil Aviation, a civil aviation museum was created at the school.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the only higher civil aviation flight school on Russian territory was created on the basis of the center. Vitaly Markovich Rzhevsky became the first rector of UVAU civil aviation.
Training flights are carried out at the airfields of Barataevka (Ulyanovsk) and Soldatskaya Tashla.
By the decree of the Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation in 2006 Krasnov Sergey Ivanovich was approved as the rector of UVAU GA.
Since 2009, the branch of the school has been the Sasovo Civil Aviation Flight School and the Krasnokutsk Civil Aviation Flight School.
Expert training
UVAU GA trains experts in the following areas:
1. Pilot (technical flight operation of aircraft);
2. Dispatcher (air traffic control);
3. Rescuer (rescue and search support for civil aviation);
4. Engineer (engineering and technical support of aviation security);
5. Engineer-manager (quality management);
6. Manager (air transport management);
7. Safety of technological processes and production
8. Aviation fuel supply for air transportation and aviation work
In 1983, the Center organized a museum of the history of civil aviation of the Soviet Union, in which, in addition to four halls, where about 7,000 documents and exhibits are collected, 28 helicopters and aircraft were presented in open parking lots, including the first Tu-104 passenger jet aircraft and the first Tu-104 passenger supersonic aircraft. -144.
In connection with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the flight higher schools of civil aviation (which were based in the city of Aktyubinsk and the city of Kirovograd) ended up outside the Russian Federation. As a result, the problem arose of training flight crews of higher education for aviation enterprises of the Russian Federation. To solve this problem, in 1992 it was proposed to establish an aviation higher school on the basis of the Center. The result of a lot of work that was carried out under the guidance of V.M. Rzhevsky, Honored Pilot of the USSR, rector of the school, was the order No. 1931-r of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 10/23/92 "On the establishment of the Ulyanovsk Aviation Higher School of Civil Aviation", and in the summer of 1993 the first set of cadets was made - according to the specialization "flight use of aircraft".
The scope of the school in the future for the preparation of aviation specialists with higher education, continuously expanded:
- 1994 - the training of air traffic control engineers (air traffic controllers) began;
- 1995 - training of engineers for students on a correspondence course was started;
- 1996 - opened a military department;
- 1998 - the first release of pilot-engineers;
- 1998 - opened a graduate school;
- 1998 - the first graduation of air traffic control engineers;
- 2000 - preparation for correspondence courses for flight engineers began;
- 2000 – preparation of managers and rescuers started;
- 2003 - the first graduation of flight engineers (at the department of distance learning).
At the moment, 1030 cadets-pilots have been trained at the school. In the past, in 2013, the school graduated 137 pilots, in 2014 they plan to release 197, in 2015 more than 200.

general information
The Ulyanovsk Higher Aviation School of Civil Aviation (Institute) is a worthy successor to the activities of flight training teams: the Higher Flight Training Courses of the Civil Air Fleet, the Flight Center of the Civil Air Fleet, the School of Higher Flight Training of the Civil Aviation, and the Civil Aviation Center of the CMEA member countries.
By order of the Main Directorate of the Civil Air Fleet No. 270 dated September 19, 1935, Higher Flight Training Courses were organized at the First United School of Pilots and Aircraft Technicians of the Civil Air Fleet in Bataysk. Initially, they were headed by G. Pruzhinin.
In 1939, due to the aggravation of the international situation, VLP courses were transferred to the city of Mineralnye Vody.
In November 1941, the Higher Flight Training Courses of the Civil Air Fleet moved from Mineralnye Vody to Tashkent. The main task assigned to the staff of the educational institution was the retraining of crews for the Li-2 aircraft. During the four war years, 4,568 pilots, 1,750 flight mechanics, 1,101 flight radio operators, 414 navigators were trained here - a total of about 8,000 aviation specialists. During the war, such a number of flight personnel was retrained, which would be enough for 100 air regiments. Over 200 employees of the educational institution received government awards. Among them are attack pilots: twice Hero of the Soviet Union N.G. Stepanyan and five Heroes of the Soviet Union M.G. Klimenko, I.D. Pavlov, N.I. Martyanov, S.A. Ivanov, I.F. Yakurnov. This is one branch in the origin of the Ulyanovsk Higher Aviation School of Civil Aviation.
The second branch is the creation in 1939 of the Flight Center in Moscow (order by the GUGVF No. 256 of June 16, 1939). During the war years, the Flight Center worked in Novosibirsk, then in Baku.
During the Great Patriotic War, the VLP Courses and the Flight Center sent 104 of their best instructors to the active army, of which 26 people died. In total, the VLP Courses and the Flight Center for the front trained 7833 flight specialists during the war. These two organizations worked independently until 1947.
By Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 2243-616 dated July 27, 1947, the VLP courses and the Flight Center were reorganized into the School of Higher Flight Training of the Civil Air Fleet with deployment in Buguruslan. Thousands of pilots, flight mechanics, navigators, radio operators were retrained there from small aviation to fly on Li-2 and Il-12 aircraft.
Since 1950, the VLP School has been relocated to Ulyanovsk (order by the GUGVF No. 026 dated February 06, 1950). Since 1956, the ShVLP has been training crews for Il-14, Il-18, Tu-104, Tu-124, Tu-134, Tu-154, An-10, An-12, Yak-42, Il-76 and IL-86.
In 1974, the Training and Methodological Center for Civil Aviation was organized at the Ulyanovsk ShVLP (Order of the Minister of Civil Aviation of the USSR No. 238 of November 28, 1974).
In accordance with the General Agreement on Cooperation between the CMEA member countries and the order of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 754-248 of September 23, 1974, the order of the Minister of the USSR Civil Aviation No. 118 of September 8, 1980 Ulyanovsk ShVLP and the Training and Methodological Center from January 1, 1981 were abolished and on their bases the Center for joint training of flight, technical and dispatching personnel of the civil aviation of the CMEA member countries was organized by the Order of Lenin.
During the existence of the VLP Courses, the Flight Center, the VLP School and the CMEA Civil Aviation Center, more than 60,000 aviation specialists have been trained for aviation enterprises of the USSR and foreign countries.
In the 80s in Ulyanovsk, by decision of the Government of the USSR, a powerful training and production base, an airfield complex was built, which made it possible to master new aviation equipment and conduct training for the flight personnel of many countries of the world.
In connection with the collapse of the USSR, the higher flight schools of civil aviation, based in the cities of Aktyubinsk and Kirovograd, ended up outside of Russia. As a result, the problem of training flight personnel with higher education for the aviation enterprises of the Russian Federation arose.
By order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1931-r dated October 23, 1992 and by order of the Ministry of Transport dated December 18, 1992 No. 100, the Ulyanovsk Higher aviation school of civil aviation.

Becoming a pilot is not easy. Such a profession requires full dedication and special education. Before deciding to enroll in a particular educational institution, it is worth studying the list of flight schools in Russia. In the institutions below you can get a quality and affordable education.
Ulyanovsk Higher Aviation School of Civil Aviation
Higher flight schools in Russia are chosen by those applicants who wish to receive the best education. Ulyanovsk VAU GA is one of the largest educational institutions in this category.
The school was founded in 1935. Initially, it was a flight training course, which was based in different cities of Russia.
The Ulyanovsk VAU GA acquired its modern look in 1992 after the collapse of the USSR, and the new leadership of the country issued a decree on the creation in Ulyanovsk on the basis of previously existing institutions of an aviation school of the highest category.
Ulyanovsk VAU GA has three faculties and fourteen departments that train specialists in management and maintenance of various types.
Branches of Ulyanovsk VAU GA
Flight schools of civil aviation in Russia are branches of other educational institutions. The largest branches of the institution indicated in the subheading are located in Sasovo, Krasny Kut and in Omsk.
In the city of Sasovo there is one of the civil aviation schools, which trains specialists in the flight operation of various aircraft. It also trains technical personnel for the repair and maintenance of flight equipment, flight and navigation systems, engines and electrified systems.
The Krasnokutsk Flight School specializes in training civil aviation pilots. During its operation, many specialists have graduated, among which there are pilots who have been awarded honorary state awards.
The flight technical college in Omsk is one of the few Russian civil aviation flight schools that teach piloting MI-8 helicopters and prepare technical staff for their maintenance. The teachers of the school teach, in addition to aviation mechanics and aviation specialists, as well as radio-electronic equipment.
The remaining flight schools in Russia are presented as branches of other universities, but they also train specialists in different areas.
civil aviation (St. Petersburg GUGA)
In the post-war years, the rapid development of air transport and the increase in the turnover of air transportation began. The existing training centers could not provide the required number of personnel. In 1955, the leadership of the USSR decided to create a new educational institution that would train pilots. The university status was assigned to the educational institution in 2004 after successful accreditation.
St. Petersburg GUCA trains specialists in several areas: pilots, technical staff, air traffic controllers. The university has several faculties. Separately, there is a dean's office for work with foreign students, which specializes in helping foreign citizens in obtaining education.
Some flight schools in Russia are branches of the St. Petersburg GUGA. They have narrower specializations, but also allow you to get an education in a technical direction.
Branches of St. Petersburg GUGA
The flight school in Buguruslan trains qualified pilots for civil aviation. Personnel training is carried out only on full-time education, which ensures a sufficient level of qualification.
Civil flight schools of Russia on the basis of the St. Petersburg GUCA are located in several other cities of the country: in Vyborg, Krasnoyarsk, Khabarovsk, Yakutsk.
The Yakut branch of the St. Petersburg State Administration of Civil Aviation is called the Aviation Technical School and is interesting in that since 2012 it has been training personnel in the specialty "Piloting the MI-8 helicopter". There are few such institutions in Russia, so the institution is popular. The school also trains technical personnel for servicing various types.
The Krasnoyarsk branch of the St. Petersburg State Administration of Civil Aviation trains specialists in flight control and airport operation. At the same time, the school operates an aviation training center, which provides retraining of specialists in other areas and advanced training.
Moscow State Technical University of Civil Aviation (Moscow GTU GA)
Higher flight schools in Russia are designed to provide the country with the necessary number of aviation industry specialists. One of these institutions is the Moscow GTU GA.
It was founded in 1971 as a response to the requirements of domestic aviation in Russia. And to this day it copes with the tasks set perfectly.
This educational institution trains specialists in the operational direction. All major civil aviation flight schools have branches in other cities of Russia. Moscow GTU GA is no exception and has 2 branches and several colleges.
Branches of the Moscow GTU GA
The branch of the Moscow State Technical University of Civil Aviation in Irkutsk trains specialists in the field of maintenance of aviation systems, complexes and the operation of aircraft equipment. It includes the Center for Training and Retraining.
The Rostov branch trains specialists in the technical operation of engines and aircraft, flight and navigation systems and aircraft electrical systems, transport radio equipment.
The Aviation Technical College in Yegorievsk trains technical personnel for civil aviation. On the basis of the college, a department for foreign students of the preparatory direction was founded, where they can master the Russian language and some general disciplines.
The structure of the Moscow GTU GA also includes aviation colleges in Rylsk, Irkutsk, Kirsanov and Troitsk.
Flight schools in Russia
There are few educational institutions that train military pilots in Russia.
Applicants who wish to enter Russian military flight schools should first consider how military aviation differs from civilian aviation.
Civil aviation is intended for the transport of people and goods and is of a commercial nature. Military aviation is state-owned and is used for defensive purposes or for combat missions and the transfer of troops and technical equipment. Flight schools train personnel for transport, fighter, bomber and attack aviation.
Higher Military Aviation Pilot School in Krasnodar (Krasnodar VVAUL)
Krasnodar VVAUL is currently a branch of the Air Force Academy. professors N. E. Zhukovsky and Yu. A. Gagarin. It was founded in 1938 as a school for military aviation pilots.
In the modern Krasnodar VVAUL, three faculties are fully functioning, which train specialists in several areas of military aviation. During its existence in the form of a flight school, the school produced many personnel who subsequently achieved high ranks in the military sphere.
Almost all Russian flight schools during the Great Patriotic War trained military pilots. But at the end of it, most of them were transferred to the reserve or retrained as civil aviation pilots. In addition to the Krasnodar VVAUL, another educational institution is currently engaged in the training of pilots of military aircraft.
Higher Military Aviation School for Pilots in Syzran (Syzran VVAUL)
The uniqueness of the Syzran VVAUL lies in the fact that this is the only military school that trains the flight personnel of combat helicopters. Currently, the school has one helicopter regiment based at the airfield in Syzran. There used to be three. But the rest of the regiments were disbanded.
Flight schools in Russia are popular with students from neighboring countries. Within the walls of the Syzran VVAUL, foreign specialists are also trained, who do not have the opportunity to train in their own state.
The military flight schools of Russia, in their small number, currently meet the needs of the military aviation of the country and its immediate neighbors. Over the years of their work, they have produced many specialists in their field.
