Progress Tracking | Preflight | Supplementary Information | Interview Information

Many career paths exist within the aviation industry. For those individuals aspiring to begin their post-graduate career as a pilot it is important to research all potential employment sites. Hiring requirements with the airlines and corporate flight departments vary greatly and have a tendency to fluctuate, depending on the status of the industry.

Upon completion of your Bachelor of Science in Aviation degree at the University of Oklahoma students typically have accumulated between 250-300 hours of total time, ten hours of multi-engine time, and five hours of turbine time.

While these hours are not enough to get you hired with a major airline, they are a great start and will make it possible for you to seek employment as a certified flight instructor. Instructing is the most common way students gain additional flight time and secure their first aviation related job.

For more extensive information relating to the creation of an aviation resume, potential career paths, how to prepare for an interview within the aviation industry and other helpful information related to internships and landing the job of your dreams, the Aviation Department has a Student Resource Room in Westheimer Airport and offers a Career Development for Aviation course, Avia 3013.
