Program graduates will have completed all academic training required for the Commercial Pilot (Helicopter) and flight instructor certificates. Pilots with a rotorcraft (helicopter) Commercial Pilot Certificate and/or instructor credentials may find employment in a variety of helicopter applications such as corporate flight operations, charter or cargo airlift, agricultural services, surveying, law enforcement, search and rescue, on-demand media, emergency medical evacuation, flight training, or with numerous government agencies or military services. Non-flying positions are also available with the Federal Aviation Administration or other federal, state and local aviation agencies.
