Facilities at East African Civil Aviation Academy (Soroti Flying School)

East African Civil Aviation Academy was established in September 1971 as the East Africa Civil Aviation Flying School of excellence under the Directorate of Civil Aviation (DCA) of the East African Community (EAC), with Government of Uganda, EAC and the United Nations Development Programme and the International Civil Aviation Organisation UNDP/ICAO as the main contributors.

Soroti Airport is the training base for the Soroti Flying School, which provides training through instrument and multiengine ratings. Training aircraft are available up to a Cessna 310. The flying school has dormitories, food service, and classrooms. Telephone service is provided by Uganda Telecom Limited while the Civil Aviation Authority provides H.F Radio communication. The airfield is 2km northeast of Soroti town.

The revived East African community has since developed the academy as a centre of excellence in aviation training for the region whose awards are recognised by education regulations all over the world.
