The Bachelor of Science Professional Aviation Flight Technology (PAFT) degree requires students to complete advanced aviation coursework and obtain an FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate with an Instrument Rating and a Multi-Engine Land Rating. Students may be awarded an R-ATP certificate when they accumulate 1,000 hours of flight time. The Flight Academy is a part 141 approved flight school.
