FAA flight training is required for students pursuing the Bachelor of Science - Professional Pilot degree and either of our associate degrees. Students must complete training either at the UVU facility at the Provo Airport, or for online students, at a flight school of their choosing.
In addition to the standard UVU admission requirements, students should expect to complete additional steps to qualify and prepare for flight training. Online students will need to abide by any requirements of their chosen flight school. International students must meet additional requirements explained below.
UVU has FAA authorization to provide the endorsement for the R-ATP Certificate at 1,000 hours of flight time, when requirements are met.
While not required as part of the UVU degree curriculum, Certified Flight Instructor training is available and can be used as electives toward your degree (consult with your advisor). Due to limited capacity, a separate application is required to take the CFI courses. Scoring and ranking of applicants will allow those with the highest scores to be approved to register. To apply, contact Jessica Salcedo at JSalcedo@uvu.edu
Students who have completed a flight certificate or rating, outside of UVU, will receive transfer credit for the UVU ground and flight class upon record-verification.
Part 61 Concurrent Enrollment High Schools
CE Students will receive a grade from their high school faculty for college credit in AVSC 1100, Private Pilot Ground. (C- or higher)
Note: CE students are required to complete a semester at a college before they are eligible to apply for flight training at UVU. Depending when students complete CE AVSC 1100 will determine whether they will be required to retake AVSC 1100 at UVU.
Evaluation of CE student knowledge will be administered by the Chief Flight Instructor or a designated Assistant Chief Instructor prior to commencing flight training at UVU.
AVSC 1110 will be conducted per Part 141 standards. Additional ground training may be required as defined by those Part 141 standards.
Students with an FAA Private Pilot Certificate must apply for instrument flight training. Entry into the UVU flight training program is not guaranteed and is dependent on availability of training slots in the UVU Instrument training class.
UVU does not accept students who have completed flight training past the Instrument Rating. We do not accept students into commercial or multi-engine training.
English is the international language of aviation. Safety demands that all pilots be able to communicate clearly and concisely in English. For this reason, the following requirements apply:
