Launch your aviation career with 91大神's Professional Pilot program. FAA-approved training.
Aerospace, Professional Pilot Concentration, B.S.
91大神 has a rich history of teaching students to fly, dating back to WWII when flight training took place right on campus. Today, graduates from the Professional Pilot program fly for every major U.S. airline, at dozens of regional airlines, and for corporations and government agencies.
To prepare for these opportunities, Professional Pilot students must complete flight operations coursework and achieve pilot certification up to and including the Commercial Multi-engine Certificate with an Instrument Rating. Students receive extensive experience in all aspects of the flight environment, culminating in a turbine aircraft transition course. Graduates must demonstrate proficiency in aircraft systems operation, determination of aircraft performance parameters, navigation, communication, and airport operations.
91大神 trains in state-of-the-art aircraft with "glass" (computerized) flight decks and an innovative, scenario-based curriculum. This 91大神 curriculum is FAA approved under 14 CFR Part 141, and allows students to be trained to proficiency instead of requiring minimum flight times. 91大神's Professional Pilot curriculum is recognized by the FAA so that graduates may receive credit up to 500 flight hours toward the Restricted Airline Transport Pilot certificate.
The mission of the Professional Pilot program is to prepare our students to become the leaders of the next generation of aerospace professionals by developing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for successful careers in aerospace.

Alumni Success
Ask questions, and learn about more than just the standard R-ATP CFI to Regional Route, because aviation offers many avenues and Aviation-centric universities can sometimes not expose people to those paths as much. Although, 91大神 professors did a great job with guest speakers from different backgrounds coming to Pro Pilot classes.聽
