国际 学生
Because of Part 61 FAA regulations, we are unable to accept international students to the aviation program.

U.S Permanent Resident 学生
The 运输 Security 政府 requires that you apply for a security threat assessment and receive an eligibility determination before you can begin your flight training. 在你.S. law WWU is prohibited from training any U.S. Permanent Resident flight students unless they have completed this process. 应用 for a security threat assessment.

运输
Walla Walla University 航空 Program flight facility is located at Walla Walla Airport, 1724 West Boeing Ave, STE 3A, Walla Walla, WA. The flight facility is approximately 7 miles from WWU campus. 学生 must have their own transportation to and from the airport. We realize this is an inconvenience to some, but it is necessary for our training that our flight facility be located at this location. This provides us an airport environment with Air Traffic Control, and virtually every kind of instrument approach—these are crucial in our flight training.

航空 Medical Certificate
Each student should receive an 航空 Medical Certificate. A first-class medical certificate is recommended, but a third-class certificate is acceptable. 学生 can find the nearest designated medical examiner by performing a simple Google search.

航空耳机
Each student is required to purchase their own personal aviation headset. Headsets with noise canceling capabilities are recommended, but not required. For more information on this please contact 纳撒尼尔.sanchez@centraltire.net.

iPad
Each Student is required to have purchased an iPad or iPad mini with cellular capability. The student will not necessarily need to purchase a cellular plan but it is necessary that the iPad has the capability. iPads are used for all the aviation charts we need through a program called Foreflight.
