What are included in Pilotage Undergraduate Program?
It covers a 4-year training period excluding the English preparatory program.
Students who qualify for and participate in the pilot degree program, firstly have English proficiency. If necessary, they complete the first 2 semesters in English preparatory class in order to bring their knowledge and language skills to the required level. Because in today's conditions, it is almost impossible to work as a pilot in any country of the world without having proficiency in English language. Therefore, in the following 2 semesters, aviation English education is also included in the curriculum.
All the courses in our program include the engineering and flight knowledge that pilots should have and the trainings that will help them acquire the skills and personality traits they are expected to have in very difficult and critical moments.
Starting from the fourth semester, our students start their “special pilot license” education. In this process, they receive theoretical training, flight training in training aircraft and / or simulators. Thereby, at the beginning of the fifth semester, when our students start their third year at our university, they have “special pilot license (PPL-A).
Over the next 2 years, our students who have improved their competence in different fields of piloting become ready to work in airline communications. Graduated students both graduate as a competent, knowledgeable aviation culture and manners with a bachelor's degree in pilotage department. They also receive Commercial Airline Pilot License (ATP-A Frozen) approved by the Civil Aviation Authority. Thus, they have the opportunity to work as a pilot after Type Training in any commercial air transportation company in our country.
What does the training cover?
Training includes English language training, academic and elective courses, Private Pilot License (PPL-A) and Airline Transport Pilot License (ATP-A) Theoretical Ground Courses, as well as Applied Flight Training delivered by elite teacher pilots on training aircrafts and simulators.
