The Professional Pilot Option in Aviation Studies prepares students for a Federal Aviation Administration license as a commercial pilot with an instrument rating, and for possible transfer to a baccalaureate program. Before enrolling in this program, students must meet the physical and legal requirements for becoming a commercial pilot. Students are required to have proof of U.S. citizenship or approval of the TSA and have a valid first class medical certificate to enroll in this program. A second application is required for admission to this program.
It is strongly recommended that students pursuing this degree regularly meet with their faculty advisor.
Students are expected to complete all flight course requirements in a single semester. However, due to the special circumstances of Aviation flight training courses, aviation students requesting an Incomplete must contact the aviation operations chair to request the extension and complete all necessary paperwork prior to the end of the semester. Students needing an Incomplete in a flight course will have 12 calendar months, from the start date of the initial semester enrolled, to complete all requirements of the course.
For additional program information, please contact aviation operations chair, Timothy Cwik, at (609) 343-4992 or tcwik@atlanticcape.edu.
