College Aviation Programs | Everything You Should Know!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

There are so many ways to become a professional pilot. I took the collegiate path, combining my flight training with an aviation degree. Regardless of where you'd like to go to school, this video will cover the things you should know before you start researching specific programs. Cost is a major factor, and you can end up with nearly identical career opportunities regardless of where you go to school... So be extremely cautious choosing any school that's significantly more expensive in comparison to other options!
I personally went to the University of North Dakota and LOVED it! My professors became mentors and the friends I made will last a lifetime. There's nowhere else quite like collegiate aviation degree programs, where you get to be surrounded by hundreds of people passionate about the same thing you are, plus get a normal college experience!
Operating one of the largest civilian flight training fleets in the world, UND Aerospace flies over 120,000 flight hours per year and has trained over 10,000 professional pilots to date. The John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences houses the primary college, located in Grand Forks, North Dakota. And if you're looking for a 2-year college option of a 12-month fast-track course, the Phoenix campus has programs for you. Click the links below to learn more!

    As the father of a high school senior who has decided this is the path he wants to follow, we have done a tremendous amount of research. Right now the feeling is pretty much 50-50 split between go to college versus going straight to an accelerated program like ATP. The argument for going straight to a program like ATP is that as you are building hours, you can work on a degree that may or may not be aviation related but would serve as a back up career in the event of something altering your career course. I think the advantages of college program speak for themselves. But I do agree that if you’re choosing an aviation degree, steer away from the professional pilot. That degree is only good for that career. Choose the aviation management, or airport management, or maintenance if you find a school that offers it. Those are at least degrees that will serve you for a back up career. Take my conclusions for what they are. My research. Please do your own and consider all the options for what works best for you and your finances. If you were looking at a career, it is perfectly understandable why you would want to rush the process in order to build your tenure as soon as possible with the carrier. Don’t forget, college must serve a purpose. A degree by itself is worth no more than the paper it is printed on. It’s what you do that ultimately matters. It’s the training that ultimately matters. Until they reinstate degrees as a requirement for employment, now is the time to properly assess the value. Good luck, Godspeed, and safe flying!

For the most part they will get you the hours and they will get you an instructor to teach you the practical but everything is totally on your own. Also I believe you are correct 21 years old for the restricted which will allow you to be first officer on a regional carrier. Then you have to build up experience age and time to be captain.

    I got into UND and Embry Riddle for there aviation program, I only have a couple gripes with it. First off, you can’t get loans for the flying itself so you either have to come from a wealthy family or somehow get a third party loan for 100k. The overall cost of the programs are around 280k, that’s not very accessible to the majority of the population even if you get a deans scholarship. And secondly, the airline industry isn’t very stable. That being said it would be a better option to get a degree you can use for a different job in case the industry drops or you loose your medical and you find Urself not able to fly. But, if you have the resources for it by all means aviation colleges will provide some great quality training. But don’t think these are the only way to get to your goals. There are plenty of other schools that are great as well.

    Some good points! The numbers are a little off, at least for UND. If you pay 1 year out of state, 3 years in-state (automatic after living 12 months in ND), and then pay the average cost for flight trianing, the total comes out to aorund $140,000, or half of the $280K you mentioned... Which is why I went to school where I did. I can't speak for the other school you mentioned, but it is significantly more expensive for the same outcome.

    @@nicswensgard Your numbers are pretty accurate for Embry-Riddle. 10 or 15 years ago Riddle seemed to start catering to wealthy foreign students and their prices exploded. Phoeniz East Aviation is a big Part 141 school across the street from ERAU. You can get a Riddle Degree in anything, and get all of your ratings from one of the Part 141 flight schools nearby. The only big advantage UND and ERAU offer is the network connection to the industry. The airlines are never going to forget to recruit at UND and ERAU. If I was doing it all over, I would go to my nearby state university, get a degree in anything, and fly at the nearest Part 141 school. NOBODY in the industry cares about your school or who taught you to fly. Save your money and get everything finished as soon as possible to get hired (get seniority) ASAP. Seniority is the most important thing in the industry for pilots.

We’re a Part 141 school that’s growing rapidly and fly out of the Coast Guard Air Station that’s just 7 minutes away from campus. Our program is AABI Accredited and has close ties to CSPI and United Aviate. It’s also one of the most affordable schools at $500 Tuition for instate and $2500 Tuition out of state. They have it set up for us to be CFI’s when we finish the program with Private, Instrument, Commercial, and Multi ratings and have the capability to obtain ATP’s at 1,000 hours. I’m definitely very happy with the program and have learned so much and developed in just 1 semester. Definitely an option to consider. We also have a UAS complex, ATC Lab, Avionics program, and Professional Aeronautics tracks available. It’s definitely a well rounded aviation program and is definitely a great option up and coming aviation enthusiasts that are looking to enter the industry should consider.

    So, which program do airlines respect the most between fast tracks, associates, and bachelors?

  • @tscottme
    @tscottme2 жыл бұрын

    I graduated Embry-Riddle with Aerospace Studies/Aviation Maintenance B.S. and 2 A.S. I was out of the industry within 2 years of graduating. A lot depends on the airline economy at the time you graduate and your network and their connection into the industry. If you have all of your ratings and your degree and graduate in an airline recession, that lull will follow you for your career. If you want to spend less money go to any college and get any Bachelor's degree. Find a Part 141 flight school and complete your ratings with them. A Part 141 school is organized. Yes, instead of making cookies on production line, they make pilots. They have figured out the process. Nobody in the airlines cares where you went to school, what your degree is in, or who taught you to fly, if you fly well. Make sure you are a good Instrument pilot. That is how you will be measured by people that don't know you yet. Get your degree as fast as possible, as cheap as possible, and same with your ratings. If you want to hone your skills when you have your ratings spend some of the money you saved and ask around for the Old Man in the area people are afraid of and fly with him until he is happy with your performance. near Riddle and probably most flying universities there are Part 141 schools that teach aviation to the non-moneyed masses. Lost of their instructors are graduates of the flying university. For example, across the campus from Embry-Riddle (Daytona) is Phoenix East Aviation. They train tons of pilots. When I started Embry Riddle the school was full for flight students.Many of us enrolled in non-flight programs, flew off-campus, and graduated with ERAU degrees.

    ​@@gbma3241 Hi! So firstly, it's been going great! I've started my sophomore year, and I already got my pilots license and am currently working on my instrument rating. Typically, when it comes to how often you fly, it depends on what flight course you're taking and the availability of your flight instructor. Some courses like the private pilot course and the instrument course automatically gives you three flight launches per week for whatever time you choose. For other courses, you only fly whenever you and your instructor are available. Over summer months you can fly around 5-6 times a week. I got lucky this fall semester and was able to fly nearly every day since me and my instructor had a lot of availability. During the normal academic semesters, I would say you will for sure be flying 3-4 times per week. Keep in mind though that weather could alter your plans and some lessons are briefing and simulators rather than actual flights, but overall, you will for sure fly several times per week! Hope that helps, let me know if you need any more info or have any other questions!

    ATP is Part 61 so you have to fly the full 1500 hours to fly for a U.S. Carrier, UND/Riddle/Etc are Part 141 and if you get the degree you can go to the airlines at 1000 hours. There are also financing backdoors, you can bill flight training at a 141 school to FAFSA and get that interest rate as opposed to the bank loan or Fannie Mae for ATP. The cost is pretty similar for both, you're in the hole about $70k through Commercial Multi
