In this course, students explore the Gateway Technical College community. They examine college resources and services, investigate skills that lead to academic success, and identify strategies for achieving educational and personal goals.

In this course, learners will build the advanced skills needed to perform complex operations in the single and multi engine aircraft. This course includes a combination of dual instruction and solo practice. Upon completion of this course, Learners will have accrued 8 (eight) hours of flight time in a single engine airplane, 11 (eleven) hours in the multiengine aircraft, and 4 (four) hours in an advanced aviation training device.

In this course, learners will be introduced to the required Commercial Pilot maneuvers in a single-engine aircraft. The course includes a combination of dual instruction and solo practice. Upon completion of this course, learners will have accrued 23 (twenty-three) hours in a single engine aircraft and 4.5 (four and a half) hours of time in the advanced aviation training device. Learners will demonstrate the minimum set of skills necessary to properly perform Commercial Airplane Single Engine Land flight maneuvers, performance takeoffs and landings, stalls in a single-engine aircraft.

In this course, learners will apply pre-flight planning strategies while planning and executing cross-country flights in multi-engine and single-engine aircraft. The course includes a combination of dual instruction and solo practice. Upon completion of this course, learners will have accrued 26 (twenty-six) hours in a single-engine aircraft, 22 (twenty-two) hours of time in a multi-engine aircraft, and 3 (three) hours in an advanced aviation training device.

The student will apply theories and procedures learned in Aviation Safety in simulated flight conditions. Analysis and evaluation of student actions, individual and as a flight crew, will be completed for each flight scenario.

In this course, learners will apply instrument rating ground knowledge to actual and simulated scenarios presented by the instructor. Upon completion of this course, learners will have demonstrated the ability to apply instrument procedures, aerodynamics, aircraft systems and instruments, regulations, weather, airport operations, navigation and human factors knowledge to scenarios presented by an evaluator in oral and practical examination settings.

In this course, learners will build the advanced skills needed to perform complex operations in the National Airspace System under Instrument Flight Rules in a single-engine aircraft. Learners develop skills including precision and non-precision approaches and cross-country flight in the National Airspace Space system under Instrument Flight Rules in a single-engine aircraft.

In this course, learners will build the foundational skills needed to perform basic operations in a single-engine aircraft in the National Airspace System under Instrument FlightRules. Learners develop skills including instrument takeoffs, precise airplane attitude control solely by reference to the airplane instruments, flight at minimum controllable airspeed, stalls, steep turns, unusual attitudes, partial panel operations, radio navigation, cross-country planning, and holding procedures in a single-engine aircraft.

This course will develop the student's awareness and understanding of the safe, legal, and efficient operation of an aircraft in the modern aviation environment. This will be accomplished through the study of specific listed topics, NTSB reports, and presentation by aviation professionals.

An advanced aviation ground course designed to prepare the student for the FAA Commercial Pilot Airplane written examination.
