concentrations one is as a professional pilot, The

TRACK #8 AND WHILE MANAGEMENT
STUDENTS TYPICALLY SPEND THEIR
TIME ON THE GROUND, HALE SAYS
STUDENT SUCCESS AFTER GRADUATION
CONTINUES TO SOAR. WITH MOST
STUDENTS LANDING JOBS IN AIR
TRAFFIC CONTROL, FEDERAL AVIATION
ADMINISTRATION, REGIONAL AND
MAJOR AIRLINE COMPANIES,
CORPORATE AVIATION, AND ALL LEVELS
OF AIRPORT ADMINISTRATION CAREER
FIELDS.
AND AS FOR STUDENTS IN THE PILOT
PROGRAM…
SOT #9 Michael Hales,
“We're proud to say that...within 12 months of
graduation, all of our students are sitting right
seat as a first officer at a regional airline.”
TRACK #9: AN ACHIEVEMENT THAT
DOENS’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT.
BEFORE LANDING A JOB IN THE
AVIATION INDUSTRY, A STUDENT
PILOT MUST EARN 1,000 HOURS OF
FLIGHT TIME.
THIS SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF HOURS
FOR SOME BUT HALE SAYS EARNING
THEM ISN’T IMPOSSIBLE.
