All students registered in any academic program at Inter American University of Puerto Rico may take this Minor as long as they present evidence of the first-class medical certificate issued by a medical doctor recognized by the Federal Administration of Aviation, 14 CFR Part 67) and pass an interview with the Head Instructor.
In addition, to declare this concentration, the student must have approved the intermediate English course GEEN 1201 or advanced English course GEEN 2311 or its equivalent with a grade greater than or equal to B.
The Bayamón Campus is authorized to offer this Minor.
The validation and transfer of credits of the Private Pilot certification, issued by the FAA and its theoretical component, corresponding to the AWSC 2115 course, a requirement in the minor concentration in Commercial Pilot, will be considered. This consideration must be requested when declaring the minor degree.
Each case will be evaluated individually. Validation and transfer of credits will be considered after completing a validation process that includes an oral and flight evaluation, in compliance with the FAA Airman Certification Standards (ACS). The evaluation will be completed by an authorized flight instructor with a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) license from the FAA. The ACS evaluates competencies that must be passed satisfactorily in their entirety. If the ACS is not passed, the candidate for admission must take the required courses in the academic program of interest.
Exceptions
The Dean of the School of Aeronautics must evaluate each case individually. The Dean may consider granting exceptions in writing, which allow an active student of the academic programs of the School of Aeronautics to present a request for the validation and transfer of credits applicable to theoretical courses, flight experiences, training and certificates of the FAA. Once the student presents the certification, he or she must undergo the validation process.
