Students usually take one flight course each semester, but may also take an additional course during the summer semester.
Most students complete course work to obtain flight instructor certification as well.
If you are planning on transferring to another college to pursue a B.A. or B.S. degree, please use your free electives to start taking the required courses in that curriculum. Some colleges on campus will not allow you to transfer in unless you have received a certificate of completion from the Institute of Aviation. No extra fee is required. The FAA has issued an extensive revision to FAR Part 67-Medical Standards and Certification, affecting all pilots required to hold a medical certificate. Concurrent with the effective date, the FAA is amending FAR Part 61 to extend the duration of a third-class medical certificate to three years for pilots under age 40.
