Addendum to Course Description

The Professional Pilot course will provide students who choose the non-instructor route the flight time and experience to help them acquire a job in aviation. Advanced aircraft operation, instrument skills, and other areas covered earlier in the program will be refined. Standards in the aviation industry will be implemented through out the training. 40 hours in a single engine and 25 hours in a multi-engine aircraft will be used to accomplish this. Lecture/discussion/demonstration sessions and lab practice supported by written and multi-media materials will present students the information need to accomplish this. Class participants will be expected to invest time outside of class to master the course content.
