Short Description
Professional pilots are highly trained professionals who are not only responsible for the safety of their passengers and cargo, but also for the operation of sophisticated and expensive equipment. Pilots must meet FAA medical standards.
Program graduates will have completed all academic training required for the airplane commercial pilot and flight instructor certificates and are immediately employable in the aviation industry. Pilots with a commercial pilot certificate and instructor credentials may find employment with regional and major airlines, corporate flight departments, charter or cargo operators, agricultural flying, flight schools, or with a government agency or military service. Non-flying positions are also available with the Federal Aviation Administration or other federal, state and local aviation agencies.
