The Professional Pilot program prepares students for careers as airline pilots. Offered in alliance with regional airlines, the program curriculum is designed to train students for pilot licenses and ratings in the following: Private Pilot, Commercial Pilot, Instrument Rating, and Multi-Engine Rating. Specific areas of training include private and commercial flight training, air navigation, aviation meteorology, aerodynamics, aviation safety, and aircraft systems. Requirements for graduation include completing all courses with a minimum grade point of 3.0 and satisfying all college and independent contractors’ financial obligations.
Midland College offers an Associate of Applied Science Degree consisting of 68-70 semester credit hours and two certificate options each consisting of 15-16 semester credit hours (one to two semesters). Upon successful completion of the rigorous two-year Associate of Applied Science Degree curriculum, students will receive a recommendation for an interview with regional airlines. The program has specialized admission requirements due to Federal Aviation Regulations and cost of flight training. Students interested in this program should contact the Technical Studies Division for additional information and further explanation of admission requirements.
The courses listed for this area of study (linked below) are in the suggested sequence for these degrees and certificates. A + indicates a course with
a prerequisite or a co-requisite. However, courses that do not have a prerequisite do not have to be taken in order. For example, AIRP 1345 does not have to be taken before AIRP 1307 since 1307 is not a prerequisite for 1345. Nevertheless, the general sequence should still be followed. Part-time students may require more than five semesters to complete their degrees or certificates.
