This demand should continue through 2015. Pilots and aviation/aerospace personnel work in highly technical and practical scientific environments on a daily basis; pilots have responsibility for operating single engine, multi-engine, turbo-prop, and jet aircraft in all weather conditions both day and night. Examples of jobs in the aviation field are: Charter and Air Taxi Pilot, University Flight Instructor, aerial photography and surveying, Military, Bush Pilot/ remote re-supply, medical evacuation, fire fighting and spotting, Federal Government positions, Drug Enforcement, FAA Safety Inspectors, pipeline and transmission line patrol, recreation/sightseeing pilot, police and traffic control, research and development, test flight, airplane sales/ demonstration and generic commercial airline pilot. Graduates of the Associate in Applied Science or Associate in Science are qualified to become a commercial pilot or certified flight instructor and should qualify for entry into a fouryear degree program for upper division course work. Graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Aviation Professional Pilot are qualified to be hired by a major airline after obtaining adequate flight hours and experience. Graduates are also qualified to be corporate and military pilots. Individuals who complete the Associate in Aviation Science constitute the majority of program employed flight instructors. Students must complete a minimum of a commercial pilot certificate, issued by the Federal Aviation Administration to obtain the Bachelor of Science Professional Pilot or Tech Management, Associate in Science Aviation or Associate of Applied Science Aviation. The Bachelor of Science Aviation Administration does not require the commercial certificate.
