Description:

The Aeronautics and Aviation Certificate of Achievement prepares students to work in several aviation occupational areas, including commercial, agricultural, and photogrammetry.

Aircraft pilots work in several occupational areas: commercial, agricultural, and photogrammetry.

Commercial pilot replacement openings will occur as pilots hired during the expansion of the 1960's reach retirement age. Growing population and income are expected to stimulate the demand for air travel. The majority of Agricultural Pilots are 48 years of age or older and more opportunities will open as they retire. Satellites have actually increased the demand for aerial photography, making a slight increase in the opportunities for Photogrammetry Pilots.

Course Prerequisites and Advisories:

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.

Notes:

For the Aeronautics and Aviation Career Certificate, AERO 50 and 50L, 51 and 51L, 52 and 52L theory and lab courses should be taken concurrently.
