Aviation Flight Technology - Associate of Applied Science
The Aviation Flight Technology Program prepares students to fly and navigate commercial aircraft. The required courses cover foundational topics including aircraft design and performance, flight systems and controls, flight crew operations and navigation procedures. Students will also study traffic regulations and government rules for piloting aircraft. To complete the program, students must pass the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Private, Commercial, and Instrument examinations. Successful students will earn FAA certification as commercial pilots. Students wishing to be airline pilots will need to transfer to a 4-year program to complete an Airline Transport Certificate (ATP). OTC Aviation Program graduates can transfer directly to Drury University or Missouri State University to fulfill this requirement. This program is selective admission and complies with all FAA Regulations. For more details, see FAQ.
