Students can tailor their curriculum based on career goals. The course of study is primarily focused on those students who wish to become professional pilots. However, the academic areas of study can also prepare students for careers in flight operations management, aircraft dispatch, aircraft scheduling and Fixed Base Operations support. The curriculum is designed to accommodate students with no previous flying experience. Courses will systematically prepare individuals academically to meet the aeronautical knowledge requirements to test for the certificates and ratings required to operate aircraft as a commercial pilot. In addition, flight lab courses are offered as suggested electives enabling the student to complete all aspects of their training under the auspices of the college and to meet aeronautical experience and flight hour requirements necessary for federal licensing as a commercial pilot. Please note that students seeking FAA certificates and ratings must participate in flight activities and meet aeronautical experience requirements as defined under Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 141 for the rating desired. In addition to meeting experience requirements, the student must perform each maneuver within the parameters established in the applicable Practical Test Standard. This may require training beyond the specified minimum number of hours for a certificate or rating.
