Civil Aviation Technology College

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<p>In general, before the official establishment, the faculty building in the Mehrabad airport area was called the pilot club, which after the approval of the law of the 17th parliament of the National Council in 1941, with the official establishment of the General Directorate of Civil Aviation and the transfer of the administration from the basement of Shams-ul-Amara Palace to Mehrabad Airport, pilot club also came under this administration and the first aviation training complex was officially registered.
In 1939, Reza Shah Pahlavi ordered the establishment of a national club for aviation, the cost of which will be provided by the people. The chairman of the board of directors of the club was Qavam-ul-Molk Shirazi, the CEO, Abdullah Yasai, and the vice-chairman of the board of directors, Shaukat-ul-Molk Alam (Minister of Posts and Telegraphs), and other members were: Ali Asghar Hekmat (Minister of the Interior), Sediq Alam (President of Iran Academy), Saham al-Sultan Bayat (Vice Speaker of the National Council), Abbas Masoudi (Representative of the Parliament and Director of the Information Newspaper).
About a thousand people registered for pilot training, of which four hundred people participated in the flight with the pilot, and by 1941, twenty-six people were trained and could fly independently. The occupation of Iran in September 1941 stopped the club's work process. Until December 1941, 27,688,452 Rials were paid from Iranians inside and 57.5348 Rials from Iranians abroad for the establishment of the aviation club. The pilot training and sanatorium was under construction at Mehrabad Airport and by December 1941, 284,300 Tomans had been spent.
