What's up, man!
I've got to answer this very carefully - there are MTSU informers watching...
Personally, I don't like the Katana aircraft, although I will admit that at least 40% of my dislike has to do with the fact that I'm a "Cessna guy". But there are some things that I just don't like about them. Hard to land...lol.
MTSU has a pretty good program, as long as you're not a pro-pilot. The attrition rate seems to be abnormally high, and nobody seems to really be motivated. People are in the program because someone told them they would make lots of money....and I know quite a few that are angry at the world now!!!
There aren't enough flight slots to go around to all of the pro-pilot students, and if you're class schedule doesn't allow you to fly on very specific dates and times (Tue & Thur or Mon & Wed....8-12 or 1-4)....you're screwed...no flight slot for you!
Because I had "too much flight experience" when I got here, I was told that I couldn't be a pro-pilot major, so i'm a scheduling & dispatch guy, and I just give my money to somebody else for my flying...lol. If I had to grade the school, it would be a B+. If I had to grade the aerospace department, it would be a C-....marginally...lol.
Now, as far as facilities go, MTSU has it going on!! The Business/Aerospace building is the newest on the campus, and everything is really nice. Once again, if I were giving a grade, I'd give it an A in that area. It's the best thing it has going!!!
