Airway Science Technology, Flight Emphasis

Program Notes:
Flight Policies: Flight and simulator training costs are the responsibility of the student. These include hourly costs for aircraft and flight instruction, tuition, fees, and other expenses. Once students have been accepted into the CGCC Airway Science, Flight Emphasis program, they will not receive college credit for flight instruction received at flight schools other than the school or schools with which Maricopa County Community College District has currently contracted for such instruction.

Flight labs must be taken concurrently with the appropriate ground courses. Attendance is mandatory in the aviation ground school courses in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulation Part 141, Appendices A and D. Failure to meet these attendance requirements will disqualify the student for FAA pilot certification.

Transfer of pilot ratings: Students with a private pilot certificate obtained without college credit must complete the private pilot ground school and flight lessons contained in the private pilot test course before enrolling in any 200-level ground or flight courses.

Students holding commercial pilot, single-engine land certification must obtain division approval prior to enrollment in flight instructor certification.

Aviation and related courses from other colleges and universities will not automatically transfer to CGCC. All aviation transfer courses, flight or non-flight, are reviewed by the Aviation Division Chair for transferability.

In all cases, it is the responsibility of the student to initiate the process.

Medical Certificates: A current medical certificate is required for all students planning to begin flight training. The physical examination must be performed by a medical doctor who is a designated Aviation Medical Examiner. Students are advised to obtain their medical certificates well in advance of beginning the flight program. This will ensure that medical problems or physical limitations that may alter career plans can be addressed before entering flight courses.

There are three types of medical certificates - Class III, Class II, and Class I. Students are advised to obtain a Class I certificate if they are planning a career in professional flight. Veteran students must have at least a Class II medical before beginning 200-level flight courses.

Students must earn a grade of C or better for all courses required within the program.

Admission Criteria: Students must apply for acceptance into the Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Airway Science Technology, Flight Emphasis program before enrolling in any 100-level courses by completing an application.

Program Prerequisites: None Program Prerequisites Students must consult with a Program Director, as the program prerequisites may be waived as requirements to the program for those students who have FAA Private Pilot Certificates and/or have course equivalents as indicated by assessment. + AET107 Private Pilot Ground School (5) AND + AET110 Private Pilot Flight (1) OR + AET112 Private Pilot Flight Test Course (2) OR A division/program approved FAA Pilot Certificate (0) 0-7 Credits: 0-7
