WHAT ARE AVIATION PROGRAMS?
MCC Aviation programs provide students with the knowledge and skills required to enter the exciting world of professional aviation.
While you earn the Associate of Applied Science degree, you will also earn the FAA ratings required to become a professional pilot. Specifically, the private pilot certificate, instrument rating, commercial pilot certificate, multi-engine rating (airplane track), and the Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certificate. Certified Flight Instructor Instrument (CFII) certificate and Multiengine Instructor (MEI) ratings are available. Helicopter flight students will earn the private pilot certificate, instrument rating, commercial pilot certificate, and the Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and Certified Flight Instructor Instrument (CFII) certificates. Program requirements will reflect FAA and industry standards to the greatest extent possible.
Individual courses may also be taken by anyone wanting to complete a ground school or take a refresher course. Classes may be taken for credit or non-credit. Contact us whether your goal is to get your private pilot certificate, add an instrument rating, or to become a commercial pilot. We can help — after all the sky is the limit!
Before you enroll in this program, first please contact us so we can answer your questions about our program and about aviation as a career. Our class schedule will normally provide two aviation classes that you should take each term after the initial semester. It is recommended that students take FWT 101 Private Pilot (Airplane) or HFT 115 Private Pilot (Helicopter) ground school the first term it is available. These are the foundational courses upon which all other aviation classes are based and will get you in the air at the earliest opportunity.
