Progression into the final two years, however, is not automatic, but generally occurs as students achieve minimum academic criteria established by the faculty. Through the associate degree program, students earn the private and commercial pilot certificates and an instrument rating. Additionally, lower division college coursework such as English, psychology, math, physics, small aircraft systems, and human factors are mandated. The focus during the final two years is on transport category aircraft and systems, high altitude atmospheric science, advanced navigation, crew resource management, with other upper division college coursework required. All Professional Flight majors receive extensive training in Purdue s B-727 simulators and fly as copilot on Purdue s Raytheon Super King Air 200 aircraft.
Students also earn the multi-engine rating.
