Upper Limit Aviation Receives 2011 Best of Salt Lake City Award
Salt Lake City, UT, June 3, 2011 — For the third consecutive year, Upper Limit Aviation (ULA) has been selected for the 2011 Best of Salt Lake City Award in the Flight School Services category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA).

The USCA "Best of Local Business” Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USCA identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.

Nationwide, only 1 in 120 (less than 1%) 2011 Award recipients qualified as Three-Time Award Winners. Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2011 USCA Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USCA and data provided by third parties.

ULA is uniquely partnered with Salt Lake Community College (SLCC), the 2nd largest community college in the country, to offer students a Professional Pilot program. The Veterans Administration (VA) approved courses in the Professional Pilot Program allow Military veterans the opportunity to use their education benefits towards a college degree which includes all their FAA pilot certificates and ratings. Students can choose an Associate of Science degree or a Commercial Certificate of Completion. ULA is further recognized as a "Patriot Partner” by the State of Utah, for the large number of veterans they hire as flight instructors from among their graduating students.  

As a Part 141 / Part 61 flight school, Upper Limit operates out of Salt Lake International Airport’s Class B (Bravo) airspace, and in turn affords students practical experience with air traffic control in busy, highly regulated space. ULA’s flight training program introduces students to flying at high-density altitudes (above 5,000 ft), mountainous terrain and the wind and weather conditions associated with it. In addition to training for flight ratings from Private Pilot through Certified Flight Instructor – Instrument (CFII), special courses such as External Load, Mountain Flying, and Turbine Transition are also available.  

The Accrediting Commission for Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) has recognized ULA as a School of Distinction, demonstrating that ULA displays "a commitment to the expectations and rigors of accreditation as well as a commitment to delivering quality educational programs” said Michael McComis, ACCSC Executive Director.
