- The bachelor’s degree in Aircraft Operations qualifies the graduate for the eventual attainment of the FAA Restricted Airline Transport Pilot (R-ATP) certification with as little as 1,000 hours of flying experience. Degree certifications and ratings include Private Pilot Certification, Instrument-Airplane Rating, Commercial Pilot Certification, Certificated Flight Instructor with Airplane Single-Engine rating (CFI), and CFI with Instrument-Airplane rating (CFII). To be eligible for the FAA R-ATP, the associated required courses as well as ground and flight training for the Instrument-Airplane rating and Commercial Pilot certification must be completed at Vaughn, and our FAA approved contracted flight school.
