To select the award winners, AOPA invited those who have taken flight training within the last 24 months to complete the Flight Training Poll. Each individual could nominate up to one flight school and one flight instructor. The online poll was conducted from June 3 to August 23, using a process that contains several safeguards designed to ensure fair competition. AOPA's poll had more than 3,600 respondents.

"We work hard to provide a high quality of aviation education to our students, so we are honored that AOPA would include LETU on their Honor Roll," said LETU dean of the School of Aviation and Aeronautical Science Fred Ritchey.

These AOPA created the awards to recognize those schools and instructors who exemplify the best flight training available and honor those who instill in their students a lifelong passion for aviation and safety.
