The Institute of Aviation is responsible for the promotion and correlation of education and research activities related to aviation at the University. Its director has the advice and assistance of an executive committee. The Institute holds Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airman Examining (Pilot) Agency Certificate Number 1, which permits it to issue pilot certificates and ratings to its graduates on behalf of the FAA. A professional pilot curriculum includes training from the private pilot level to the airline-transport pilot level.
Typically, new freshmen are accepted for admission only for the fall semester, but a few students are accepted for the spring semester. Transfer to the Institute of Aviation from within the University may be accomplished as space permits.
A graduating Institute student may transfer to any degree-granting division of the University to complete requirements for a degree in that division. This may require from four to six additional semesters. A University student outside the Institute of Aviation may elect flight courses with the permission of his or her department and the permission of the Institute of Aviation.
Special fees ranging from $1098 to $5,127 are charged for a course involving flight training in addition to the estimated costs listed on page 24. These fees are subject to change as operating costs change.
The Institute's Aviation Research Laboratory conducts interdisciplinary
research in many areas related to flight. The Institute manages Willard Airport, located six miles southwest
of the Urbana-Champaign campus. The airport also provides the University and the
community with excellent air transportation facilities.
