Admission Requirements
In addition to Moravian University’s standard admittance guidance and protocols, the following are required:
- Second class (first-class preferred) medical certificate
- English proficiency
- Proof of US citizenship (Separate requirements for non-US citizens)
- At least 16 years of age for solo flight training and 17 years of age for private pilot training
- Flight evaluation if you hold prior certificates
- Any evidence of major DUI and/or drug offenses or legal issues that may impact future hiring
- Students need to obtain a FAA Medical Certificate. While a 2nd or 3rd class medical certificate is sufficient to begin training, it's recommended that students obtain a 1st class medical certificate to ensure they're physically qualified for their future professional career. This medical exam must be done by an AME—find a location near you.
If you do not meet the requirements for the pilot program, our Aviation Management program is another powerful way to launch your aviation career.
