  3. Aeronautical Science Degree Mission Statement The purpose of the Aeronautical Science degree is to maintain status as the international center of excellence for professional pilot education. The degree blends flight training with rigorous academic study in a unique manner. The degree provides a strong foundation for graduates to assume leadership roles as airline pilots, commercial pilots, or military pilots.  The philosophy of the Aeronautical Science degree is that ethical and responsible behavior, within a culture of safety and professionalism, is imperative for the success of its graduates. The goal of the degree is to maintain global leadership in pilot education through a technologically enriched, student-centered environment enabling learning through collaboration and teamwork.

  4. Aeronautical Science Degree Mission Statement (continued) The intent of the degree is to accomplish its mission by: • utilizing top quality faculty and instructional staff to educate students • developing skills in mathematics, physics, communications and aeronautics • including FAA certification to become a professional pilot in a multi-crewmember jet transport aircraft • providing innovative directions in aviation education • infusing state-of-the-art flight simulation into the curriculum • employing advanced laboratories, equipment, and other facilities • collaborating with industry leaders and aviation experts worldwide • advancing knowledge through leading-edge research in aviation

  6. Overview-Rigorous Curriculum • Skills: • Mathematics, calculus-based • Physics, with labs • Communications • Business • Aeronautics • FAA certification as a multi-engine instrument rated commercial pilot.

  7. Overview-Professional Education • The last two years include extensive professional level courses that prepare the graduate for a career as a professional pilot, including: • airline flight crew operations in multi-crewmember jet transport aircraft • critical thinking and problem-solving skills developed via computer simulations for • aircraft performance • navigation • aircraft systems operation

  8. Overview-Professional Education Cont. Hours of Instruction Per Course 49.5 Effective resource management, human factors, and safety awareness are constantly emphasized throughout the curriculum. Current topics of interest integrated throughout curricula (e.g., SMS, ASAP, FOQA)

  9. Knowledge, Skills, and AttitudesRequired by Today’s Industry Upon completion of the curriculum, the student will possess an FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate with multi-engine and instrument ratings. Advanced flight training includes upset training, certification as a flight instructor and instrument flight instructor, and training as a flight crewmember in a jet transport aircraft.

  10. Airline Pilot Specialty Hours of Instruction Per Course 49.5 The Airline Pilot Specialty is designed for students whose goal is to fly for a scheduled airline. The academic and flight courses are designed to provide exposure to procedures and operations consistent with those found at air carriers.

  18. MCO AS 472

  19. AS 472 Goals Goals: At the end of the course, students should be able to review the regulations pertaining to flight operations conducted under 14 CFR 91 Subparts F, G & K; 14CFR 119, 14 CFR 135; & 14CFR 121 and using accepted practices to make proper decisions regarding various types of flight operations. In addition, students will apply previous learned knowledge of flight planning, crew resource management, threat and error management, safety, and professional ethics to real-world situations and demonstrate the ability make the decisions necessary to achieve a safe and successful outcome.

  20. AS 472 Discipline Specific Learning Outcomes Setting Students will demonstrate their understanding of the professional and regulatory standards and ethics expected of pilots in today’s industry by researching and writing the appropriate sections of a flight operations manual for a fictional, yet representative airline.

  21. AS 472 Discipline Specific Learning Outcomes • scenario-based learning threat and error management • understanding of the professional and regulatory standards and ethics • explaining appropriate threat and error management • Scenario-based learning and case studies for making and justifying decisions • Part 121 domestic operations • writing appropriate sections of a flight operations manual on de-icing, low visibility ground operations including SMGCS operations, crew rest, transportation of dangerous goods, and diversions and/or delays • Part 121 international operations • writing appropriate sections of a flight operations manual on international flights including RNP and RVSM operations, international communications, ICAO flight plans, diversions and reroutes.
