Aurora Public Schools Superintendent John Barry teaches a flight school to aspiring APS students who take part in the Galaxy STEM (Science ...
If I go to a school of aviation, or flight school, and I get by bachelor's in aviation or aeronautical science. When I graduate, can I fly? In other words, do they only let some students fly and some other have to just get the degree and thats it? How does flight school and flying work? I am new to this and I know I need instrument ratings and airtime but do I get a normal degree? Is the flight time included in the cost of tuition or do I have to take private lessons? This school I am going to go to has airplanes at the campus and they have an airport so I would think that you get your ratings at the school AND a degree in aviation? It is a college. They stress that there are other jobs in aviation besides flying but that is the only one I want to do. Am I going to get sucked into this school just to be told I can't fly?
When I went to school you could get your degree with or without flying. The flying part was divided by the licenses you would get from the FAA (private, instrument, commercial, multi, CFI, CFII, MEI, ATP). The flying was charged by the school which could be paid by your loans, grants, scholarships, parents etc...
When you get your Commercial lincense with Instrument and multi ratings you would have approximately 250 - 350 hours of flight time. Technically you can get a job flying aircraft under 12,500 lbs as Pilot in Command. But no one will hire you because of lack of experience.
Most people also get the CFI (certified flight instructor) CFII (instrument instructor) MEI (multi engine instr.) licenses and teach students how to fly until they have enough PIC (pilot in command) time to get hired by a private company or commuter airline.
I want to know the years of training at the flight school, i know that the aviation perfers a university or college degree and that takes 4 years and into flight school, how many years does it take to graduate from aviation school. Is it 5-10 years?
I'll assume you mean how long to become a professional pilot. It doesn't have to take long at all to get all of your pilot certificates and ratings that you typically need. I'd say that for most, it takes a couple of years. However, if you can devote 100% of your time to flying (i.e. you're not working another job at the time), you can go from 0 hours to your first job in the aviation field (typically a flight instructor) in less than a year.
Becoming a pilot is not like becoming a Doctor. You don't need years and years of schooling in order to do it. Yes, you need a college degree (in anything) in order to be competitive, however, learning to become a pilot is more like learning a trade or a vocation. It's something that can be done very quickly if you are determined.
I really need to know the BEST. I want a school that can make you a pilot in Philipine Airlines or other airlines. I want an aviation school that can make you big time or a person who earns lot of money. What aviation school is the best? How much for the whole course?
There are only 2 big aviation institutions in the country.
One was already mentioned by one answerer, PATTS & the other is Airlink.
I live in the tampa, fl area and am looking for an aviation school or program near or in that area. how do i look? help!
There isn't much to say. Check out this website. It's very recourceful with links, a school search, and all kinds of other information. It's an excellent starting point for your search. http://www.aviationschoolsonline.com/
Good Luck!
*EDIT* I'd suggest investigating degree programs at universities in your area.
