MTSU 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..
This MTSU curriculum is FAA approved under 14 CFR Part 141, and allows students
to be trained to proficiency instead of requiring minimum flight times. MTSU'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.
