Prerequisites
Admission Prerequisite
To receive flight training at Classic, it is required that students read, speak and understand the English language and are at least sixteen years of age. To attain Private Pilot Certification, the student must be seventeen years of age, and to attain Commercial Pilot Certification, the student must be eighteen years of age. Students must hold a current medical certificate. Also, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires that all domestic students who wish to receive flight training must prove that they are U.S. citizens or nationals at the time of enrollment by presenting the school with an original birth certificate and government-issued picture ID or a valid unexpired U.S. passport. This is in accordance with 49 CFR 1552.3(h).
Credit for Prior Training
A student may receive credit for prior training if an FAA Certified Flight Instructor has endorsed the training. Classic will require a logbook review, and a Flight Check or Knowledge Test or both will be conducted. The maximum transferable credit for students enrolling in Part 141 training courses is one-half of the total course requirements.
Medical Requirement
Prior to enrolling in Part 141 flight training programs, students are required to provide Classic with a copy of the appropriate medical certificate issued by an Aviation Medical Examiner (AME). This includes students coming to the United States on a student visa, or those utilizing veteran benefits or the Alaska Student Loan Program. Students enrolling under Part 61 must provide Classic with a copy of the appropriate medical certificate prior to solo practice. We can provide a list of FAA authorized AMEs throughout the United States and in the local Seattle area. Cost for a medical certificate is $100. At this time, all courses offered at Classic require a Third Class Medical Certificate. Please note that veteran students using their VA benefits to enroll in the Part 141 advanced courses must hold a Second Class Medical Certificate at the time of enrollment.
