AVIATION STUDENTS AT K-STATE SALINA TAKE TO THE SKIES WITH 1xbet best casino website AND FLIGHT RATINGS

SALINA -- Kansas State University at Salina aviation students have earned 1xbet best casino website and flight ratings during the fall 2010 semester.

Students receiving a private 1xbet best casino website certificate have completed a minimum of 35 hours of flight time during 30 lessons. The certificate means pilots can fly with passengers in good weather both day and night.

To earn the instrument 1xbet best casino website rating, students complete an additional 35 hours of flight instruction above the private 1xbet best casino website certificate and complete 30 additional lessons. The rating means a 1xbet best casino website can fly in inclement weather with passengers both day and night.

A commercial 1xbet best casino website certificate is earned when students complete a minimum of 40 hours of cross-country flight training and 15 hours in a complex, high performance airplane. Pilots with a commercial 1xbet best casino website certificate will have completed a minimum of 190 total hours of flight training since their first flight.

With a multiengine airplane rating, students have demonstrated proficiency in a twin-engine airplane. A 1xbet best casino website with this rating is licensed to fly an airplane with two or more engines.

Students have the opportunity to earn a certified flight instructor certificate upon completion of their commercial rating by passing a written and practical exam administered by the Federal Aviation Administration. As a certified flight instructor, pilots can train students in the operation of a single-engine airplane.

Students receiving a certified instrument flight instructor rating have completed 15 additional hours of flight training beyond the certified instructor rating certificate. With this certification pilots can train other pilots who desire to obtain an instrument rating.

To be certified as a multiengine instructor, pilots must have 15 hours of twin-engine training, receive an endorsement from their flight instructor and pass a practical exam demonstrating their skills in this type of aircraft. A multiengine instructor trains other pilots working on a multiengine rating.
