The curriculum provides the flight training necessary to operate in the high-density environment of modern airspace. All flight training courses are taken at an FAA-certified and licensed facility. Through the course of the Associate in Science Degree in Aviation Science Technology program, students will be eligible to take the following Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification examinations: Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, Instrument Pilot, and Flight Instructor. Students will be eligible to take the Instrument Flight Instructor, Multi-Engine, and Multi-Engine Instructor certification examinations through the course of the Associate in Science Degree in Advanced Aviation Science Technology.
The program emphasizes critical thinking and analytical skills, as well as oral and written communication skills. Effective resource management, human factors, and safety awareness are constantly emphasized throughout the curriculum. Complementing the intensive flight training is classroom instruction and use of flight simulators.
The program prepares graduates for careers in government and civil aviation organizations as professional pilots and flight operations managers, including executive, corporate, agricultural, and air carrier operations. The typical career path starts as a certified flight instructor and leads to positions with airlines and corporate flight departments.
Upon graduation with either the Associate in Science Degree in Aviation Science Technology or the Associate in Science Degree in Advanced Aviation Science Technology, students are prepared to continue their education with a bachelor of science in Business Management Technology at New England Tech.
