Prescott New Student Info Guide - Spring 2024

3. Student Pilot Certificate (FA 121 and FH 142) In addition to the FAA Medical Certificate described above, students enrolling in FA 121 and FH142 are required to obtain a Student Pilot Certificate. The Student Pilot Certificate may be issued by any Flight Instructor prior to your arrival, or it can be issued by your Embry-Riddle or Helicopter Institute flight instructor once you are assigned. If you choose to have your certificate issued by your assigned instructor after arrival, please visit iacra.faa.gov and register for an IACRA account prior to your arrival at Embry-Riddle. This account will be required to complete your student pilot certificate application. 4. Certificates or Flight Ratings Earned Before Enrolling at Embry-Riddle Original certificates must be presented in the Records Office for possible advanced standing credit. Copies can be sent to Admissions prior to enrollment for unofficial transfer credit evaluation. INFORMATION ABOUT FLIGHT TRAINING FOR NON-U.S. CITIZENS Non-U.S. citizens must comply with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) notification requirements. All non-U.S. citizens must register with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) online. The students are required to submit a training application, fingerprints, a valid passport and student visa along with a processing fee to the TSA. The students can register for flight courses and begin flight training as soon as the TSA approves the training request. Some advanced flight courses may require a waiting period of up to 30 days. If Embry-Riddle receives any directive from the DHS or the TSA, the student may be administratively withdrawn. This information and fee, but not the fingerprints, must be sent prior to starting additional specific flight courses and will be managed through Embry-Riddle’s Airman Certification Coordinator at the Flight Training Center.

COST OF FLIGHT TRAINING Flight costs are not covered by your tuition payments. For detailed information on flight costs per year and per course, visit prescott.erau.edu/admissions/estimated-costs . Subject to change. DRUG-TESTING PROGRAM In the effort to maintain a work and educational environment that is safe for its employees and students, the university has established a mandatory flight student drug-testing program. Success in the aviation industry requires a commitment to excel and the discipline to avoid unsafe practices. The use of illegal drugs constitutes an unsafe practice and is incompatible with an aviation environment. All students entering the flight training program are subject to random and post-accident drug testing in accordance with the policy outlined in the Undergraduate Catalog prescott.erau.edu/degrees/catalog . The university reserves the right to immediately suspend or dismiss any student who uses or possesses illegal drugs.
