Course Description

The student will receive training in the maneuvers and procedures necessary to meet the standards contained in the Commercial Practical Test Standards Airplane Multi-Engine Land. Additionally, the student will receive training in safety awareness, crew resource management, and aeronautical decision making. At the successful completion of this course, the student will have gained the aeronautical experience necessary to attain the additional rating of Commercial Pilot, Airplane Multi-Engine Land. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)
