항공운항학 전공 커리큘럼은 전문 조종사로서의 항공 분야 진출을 준비하는 과정입니다.
이 과정은 단순히 조종 기술만을 가르치는 것이 아니라, 지적 능력과 기술 역량 모두를 강조하며, '조종사'가 아닌 '기장(Captain)'을 양성하는 것을 목표로 합니다.
비행 훈련과 필수 이론 과목을 통해 학생들은 상업 항공사에서 요구하는 핵심 역량을 체계적으로 배우게 됩니다.
특히 다음과 같은 개념들을 중점적으로 다룹니다:
승무원 자원관리(CRM)
현장 기반 비행훈련(LOFT)
국제선 운항 절차
항공사 관련 규정
수익성과 경영, 행정 관리
교육 장비로는 최신 단발 및 다발 엔진 항공기,
전자식 비행계기 시스템(EFIS) 및 항공기 운항 관리 시스템(FMS)이 탑재된 최신 비행훈련 시뮬레이터 등을 활용합니다.
본 과정을 이수한 학생은 미 연방항공청(FAA) 사업용 조종사 자격증을 취득하게 되며,
계기비행(Instrument) 및 다발엔진(Multi-engine Land) 등급도 함께 취득하게 됩니다.
신체 검사 증명서 (FAA Medical Certificate)
Students considering this curriculum are highly encouraged to obtain a FAA First Class Medical Certificate before committing to this program. An FAA Second Class Medical Certificate is a prerequisite for the first flight course (AVS 1520). Due to aircraft limitations, an individual’s flight course participation may be limited due to extremes in that individual’s size and/or weight. It is recommended that individuals heavier than 275 lbs., shorter than 5’ 2”, or taller than 6’ 6”, reach out to the college to discuss limitations.
마약 테스트 (Drug Testing)
All students are required to subject themselves to drug testing procedure approved by the College before being allowed to participate in any flight activity in University aircraft.
학위 프로그램 이수 조건 (Program Requirements)
Enrollment in flight courses may be subject to a waiting list. Admission is determined by the candidate’s number of credits earned, GPA, and availability of aircraft and instructors. Registration is administered by the College of Aviation. Students enrolled in flight training must maintain an average GPA of 2.75 overall and a 3.0 College of Aviation GPA. Failure to do so will result in removal from flight status.
No minor required.
