OCTOBER 27-28, 2026

Where U.S. and allied aviation leaders unite to drive scalable, versatile, and affordable pilot training.

The 2026 IDGA Military Flight Training USA Summit is where the next era of military aviation training is defined. Returning with an expanded community of 300+ senior leaders, program managers, instructors, and industry trailblazers, the summit brings together the people and programs shaping how U.S. and allied forces develop, prepare, and sustain their pilots for tomorrow’s operational demands.

With leading commands such as AETC, CNATRA, and the Army Aviation Center of Excellence contributing strategic direction and real-world insights, attendees gain direct access to the decision-makers driving modernization across the training enterprise.

In 2026, the summit goes further, spotlighting advanced training technologies, integrated live-virtual-constructive ecosystems, talent development, and cross-service collaboration to build more adaptable, combat-credible aircrews.
