I am currently enrolled in the Professional Piloting Program here at UAA, so I thought I would point out some pros and cons of the school for those looking at going to college to professional piloting.
Pros:
UAA is a great alternative to those high priced programs down south. I will see if I can get an ATC student on here to give their opinion of the program because there are alot of people up here in that program.
Pros:
- Small class sizes.
- The teachers are amazing. They are very experienced, and love to get to know the students. They love to help the student succeed.
- Great facility.
- Helping develop new technology. UAA helped test ADS-B, and has the very first CAPSTONE unit in one of its aircraft.
- Location. Being is Alaska you get to actually make weather decisions, experience all sorts of weather, and learn mountain flying. Plus it rarely dips below 0, unlike ND
- The ability to start the program with a PPL and be thrown right into Instrument training. No need to take PPL classes over again.
- Cheap. Right now it is about 42 grand PPL-CFI.
- Shortage of instructors.
