Bachelor in Aviation Pilotage

Aviation Pilotage prepares students for careers as professional pilots, combining flight theory, aircraft systems knowledge, and hands-on flight training. Typical coursework includes aerodynamics, meteorology, air navigation, aviation regulations, aircraft performance, and crew resource management, complemented by simulator sessions and supervised flight hours. Students develop the technical skills and judgment needed to operate aircraft safely, interpret weather and navigation data, and follow international aviation safety standards. The program also addresses communication protocols, emergency procedures, and the physiological factors relevant to flying at altitude. Graduates typically pursue careers as commercial airline pilots, though some move into flight instruction, aviation management, or airline operations roles. The field is closely regulated, with training structured to align with national and international pilot licensing requirements. This bachelor's program is taught in English and runs for a duration of 4 years at Istanbul Aydın University in İstanbul, Turkey. English-medium instruction supports engagement with international aviation documentation and communication standards used throughout the industry. Across the 4-year course of study, students move from classroom-based theory toward more applied flight training, building the competencies expected of entry-level commercial pilots while studying in a major aviation hub city.
