Flight students can take advantage of the university benefits offered by California Aeronautical University.

TIME-SAVINGS
Eligible students can benefit from a 500 flight-hour reduction when pursuing their Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certification and receive a reduction in the minimum age for eligibility. Candidates without a bachelor’s degree typically need 1,500 hours and must be at least 23 to be eligible for their ATP. Eligible CAU graduates can qualify for a restricted ATP (R-ATP) with only 1,000 hours at the age of 21.

SUPPORT
California Aeronautical University is actively invested in student success. The Office of Student Success provides support to students throughout their time at CAU to help them reach their full potential. Plus, CAU’s Graduate Services Department is available to provide individualized career planning assistance to help prepare students for gainful employment.

NETWORKING
Through the University’s strong partnerships with airlines, influential aviation organizations, and leaders in the aviation community, CAU graduates become a part of a larger aviation network and reap the benefits of these relationships.
