Colegio Técnico Experimental de Aviación Civil, Aviation technical school in Quito, Ecuador.

The Unidad Educativa de Aviación Civil, formerly the Colegio Técnico Experimental de Aviación Civil, occupies a building in Quito with a pale cream facade crossed by a deep-blue band reading "INSTITUTO AERO" in white capitals. The left side is recessed behind tall glass windows under a dark blue overhang on thin columns; the blank right wall carries a circular mural near its edge.

The school was founded on September 22, 1977, originally named Colegio Técnico Aeronáutico de Aviación Civil. It was established with support from the Ecuadorian Air Force as a training center for aviation technical personnel.

Cadets at the school wear uniforms and follow military-style instruction, a legacy of its founding under the Ecuadorian Air Force. Until 2000 the student body was exclusively male; since then it has admitted both male and female cadets. The institution was private until January 2011, when it became a public establishment.

The school is located on Avenida 10 de Agosto and Capitan Alfonso Yepez in Quito, making it accessible by public transport. It maintains connections with aviation industry employers who offer students practical work experience through internship opportunities.

Graduates earn an intermediate science degree that prepares them for either civilian or military aviation careers. Those who complete the program are legally exempted from mandatory military service.
