CURRICULUM GUIDE

Aviation Flight Technology

Associate in Applied Science Degree

Curriculum Code: 0259  (Effective Fall 2004 - Summer 2009)

The commercial flight training program provides all required ground, simulator, and in-flight technical training to meet Federal Aviation Administration requirements for Commercial Pilot Certification.  This program will conduct ab-initio training (no previous experience) or build on previous experience of the student.  Students entering this program are required to accomplish an F.A.A. Class II medical exam prior to entering training.  Normal motor skills and academic ability will provide functional competency to support certification.  Graduates are initially employed as instructor pilots by flight training schools.  As the graduates achieve 1200 to 1500 flight hours, they are competitive for hiring by regional or commuter airlines as First Officers. Not all courses in this program transfer to all colleges. Students planning to transfer should see an academic advisor or counselor before enrolling in any course.

PREREQUISITES
Students should see Course Descriptions or Course Offerings for course prerequisite information.  See the Assessment and Placement Testing section for skills assessment and advising information.
