I am currently getting my husband signed up for a local University. They offer an Aviation Management degree online. Since he hasn't received his Bachelors yet and doesn't want to quit school, he is going into this field. The classes are flight related and he will get some credits for already being a pilot and things like that. It works out really well.
So my question is, what classes would be most beneficial to help him before OKC and during OKC? Aircraft Identification? Survey of Aviation Science? Aviation Law? Flight Environment? Flight Physiology? There are also 2 actual ATC classes. The thing is, if he avoids taking those, he will get to clep out and not have to take those classes (which would be nice). Actually, any class he doesn't take but learns the stuff in OKC he can clep out of it.
Our overall goal is to take classes before that will help in OKC and once he gets to his center. The second is to take classes that he can study the class material and be studying stuff for OKC at the same time. The last is to be able to clep out of as many credits as possible.
He is also going to be taking classes while in OKC. He is hoping to find 2 classes online that will go well with OKC and training. He has always worked full time, sometimes 2 jobs (1 full time and one part time) and gone to school part time. anic: I am just hoping to make it easier on him.
What do others suggest? What classes do you take in OKC? Do any of the classes I have mentioned coincide with material in OKC? What classes would help not only in OKC but where it really matters, when he gets to ZLC? He doesn't want to be one of those new trainees that doesn't even know how to identify this plane from that. (Although he does know a lot of airplanes..that happens when you grow up with a dad, grandpa and uncles as a pilots)
What is the biggest mistake that new trainees make from not having the knowledge they should?
Any suggests are appreciated (as long as they are what I want to hear ) Thanks guys!
