This is school instructs its students in all aspects of SFMC Aerospace operations. Students will learn the roles and responsibilities for ground and maintenance crews, how to perform as forward aerospace controllers, and even advanced aerospace combat techniques. The Aerospace School is administered through the Office of the Commandant, STARFLEET Marine Corps Academy by the Aerospace Branch Director. Courses are currently available through the AE-301 level and all are available online for immediate credit.

The manuals necessary  for these courses can be downloaded from the SFMCA Library.

This school is designed to challenge the student to learn more about the technical aspect of aviation in the Star Trek realm. The AE-291 concentrated on different aspects of flying a craft, the AE-295 concentrates on the technical aspects of a craft. Prerequisite for this course: AE-291.

AE-301 Aerospace Independent Study Course: For the final step in the Aerospace Branch studies the student must complete an independent studies project.
