The Bachelor of Science in Professional Pilot prepares students to enter the work force as a certified flight instructor and commercial, multi-engine rated pilot. Students receive specific training under Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 14 CFR Part 141 and Restricted Air Transport Pilot (R-ATP) regulations to qualify for specialized employment requirements with a regional airline. Delivery focuses on technical training and applied exercises providing the knowledge and skills required for several licenses and ratings.
