Proficiency Exams
Proficiency Exams are an integral part of the curriculum. Each student is required to take and pass the General, Powerplant, and Airframe Proficiency Exams to be certificated. These exams are given in the last block (Block 10). The exams are given one week prior to the end of the block. If a student does not pass any Proficiency Exam on the first attempt, there is a mandatory waiting period before a retake may be attempted. You will need to contact the front office to be re-scheduled. Remember, that all time and monies must be satisfied, and you will need to pay for the retakes in advance, in order to be re-scheduled.
