The John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences is a world-renowned center for aerospace learning and nationally-acclaimed for our achievements in aviation education. We have taught students how to take off and land on water for the past 20 years. UND Aerospace Foundation can provide private and commercial single-engine seaplane ratings. Our seaplane training offers flexible scheduling, a comprehensive training syllabus, and some of the most scenic lakes Minnesota has to offer. Most of our students finish their training in between 7 and 11 hours. Training is available at our UND Aerospace - Crookston, MN Flight Training Center.
