Student Pilot Certificate In addition to the FAA Medical Certificate described above, students enrolling in FA 121 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 flight instructor once you are assigned. Certificates or Flight Ratings Earned Before Enrolling at Embry-Riddle Original certificates must be presented in the Flight Data and Certifications Office for possible advanced standing credit. Copies can be sent to Admissions prior to enrollment for unofficial transfer credit evaluation. Credit may vary based on degree program.
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. The Embry-Riddle Flight Data and Certification Office will assist international students with required Transportation Security Administration (TSA) registration. 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. The training application will be done with the Airman Certification coordinator upon arrival at Embry-Riddle. 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 If Embry-Riddle receives any directive from the DHS or the TSA, the student may be administratively withdrawn.
Additional Information for Flight Students
iPad Requirement All flight students are required to have an Apple tablet for utilization of flight planning software during flight activities. The 10.5" or smaller iPads are recommended.
The cost of flight training is not covered by your tuition payments. For detailed information on flight costs per year and per course, visit prescott.erau.edu/admissions/estimated-costs. These costs are subject to change.
Embry-Riddle Student Drug-Testing Program
In an 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: catalog.erau.edu/prescott The university reserves the right to immediately suspend or dismiss any student who uses or possesses illegal drugs.
