The Turkish Aviation Command and Turkish Army Aviation Command (Turkish: Kara Havacılık Komutanlığı), was established in 1948 under the name of "artillery crafting" within the Turkish Land Forces artillery school. It is the administrative center of the Turkish Land Aviation School in Isparta, which trains officers and petty officers to the Turkish army. The airbase has played an important role in the Cyprus Operation.

History

Since 1968, the rotary wing aircraft taken from the Turkish Air Force inventory joined the union. Its mission is to provide air support to Turkish land troops and to support the battle by making transport reconnaissance.

In the coup attempt on July 15, 2016, a group of soldiers attempted a coup attempt under the leadership of Ünsal Coşkun, who served as Commander of the Army Aviation School at the rank of brigadier general. Former brigadier Coşkun declared himself the Commander of the Aviation and managed some helicopters used in the coup until he went to Akıncı Air Base.

Also a part of the Turkish Army's aviation force is the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems Brigade (tr:İHAS Tugayı), located at Kahramankazan, Ankara.
