    WHAT IS A DISCOVERY FLIGHT?
    Horizon Flight Center Graduate - Kim Beckman

    CESSNA PILOT CENTER ADVANTAGE
    Cessna's reputation is second to none. With 80 years of aviation excellence, safety and progress Cessna is the worlds leader in general aviation. Choosing to train at a Cessna Pilot Center (CPC) is the best decision any student pilot can make. Cessna Pilot Centers are required to meet and maintain extremely high standards of operations in both safety and
    pilot training.


    Cessna Pilot Center advantages include:
    Cessna's Computer Based Instruction (CBI) is the flight school only standardized integrated curriculum that delivers training consistently worldwide with Private, Instrument and Commercial courses available.
    Exclusive access to the only computer-based student record management system that tracks progress of pilots every step of the way.
    Instruction in new and well maintained Cessna Flight School Aircraft.
    Faster completion times and higher success rates which saves money and produces better pilots. Accelerated Flight Training is our specialty.
    Exclusive student loan programs that can make learning to fly affordable on a modest budget.
    Up to 50 College Credit hours though Mountain State University

    With all of the Cessna support behind each Cessna Pilot Center, such as special aircraft financing, insurance, global marketing programs, field-based seminars, and training managers, its little wonder that more people have learned to fly at Cessna Pilot Center's than anywhere else. Cessna Pilot Center's really do teach the world to fly. Recently, an independent company rated the Cessna Skyhawk 172 and Cessna Skylane 182 the safest flight training airplanes EVER constructed. Horizon Flight School utilizes these flight training aircraft in our training and are required as a Cessna Pilot Center to keep these aircraft within Cessna maintenance standards.

    Horizon Flight Center is the ONLY Part 141 Cessna Pilot Center within 100 miles of Chesapeake, VA.

    Why earn a degree in Professional Aviation?

    Flight training is just the start! For aspiring professional pilots, competition is fierce. The airlines often have thousands of applicants for a hundred or so available slot corporate and fractional operators are swamped with resumes. A college education is an important asset for both newly trained pilots with high-flying dreams as well as professional pilots seeking to upgrade to the airlines. Not having a degree often disqualifies applicants for a chance at the best jobs.

    What can I study?
    Mountain State University offers three aviation related degrees, all available through distance learning:

    Associate of Science in Aviation

    Bachelor of Science in Aviation
    Bachelor of Science in Organizational Leadership

    The associate degree in Aviation and bachelor's degree in aviation leadership and technology are offered through MSU's Individualized Study program, which uses a combination of on-line and paper based formats to provide a high degree of flexibility for distance learners. The bachelor's in organizational leadership degree is offered through a computer based online delivery system.  

    Both the online and Individualized Study options may be combined with traditional attendance at any of the MSU campuses (Beckley and Martinsburg in West Virginia, Orlando, Florida, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) as a third option.

    Why choose MSU?
    Cessna Pilot Center students save 20%

      Cessna Aircraft Company and Mountain State University have teamed up to offer Cessna Pilot Center students and flight instructors a 20% discount on Mountain State University tuition and fees in the aviation and OL programs.  This can add up to thousands of dollars in savings! So Cessna Pilot Center students receive quality training in the industry's most popular training aircraft  and they can save money on college while learning to fly.

    Receive college credit at Horizon Flight School for FAA Part 141 certificates and ratings
    MSU offers college credit for those hard-earned FAA certificates and ratings. A student can earn up to 50 credit hours based on the FAA certificates. Here are some sample credit hours available:

    Private Pilot                          6 hours
    Instrument Rating               8 hours
    Commercial Pilot                 11 hours
    Multi-Engine Rating            3 hours
    Flight Instructor                   8 hours
    Instrument Instructor         4 hours
    Multi-Engine Instructor      4 hours

    Transfer credit from other schools
    Mountain State University accepts credit from other regionally accredited colleges and universities, so there is no need to repeat courses completed at other schools - and MSU does not charge to transfer credit. Plus, unlike other institutions, MSU does not charge for the credits earned through FAA certificates and ratings. This can save Mountain State University aviation students not thousands of dollars, but tens of thousands of dollars!
