~EGULAR SESSION - University of Oregon

352 MILITARY AND AIR SCIENCE
During the senior year, students programmed for Air Force pilot training
take flight training at a local F.A.A.-approved civilian flying school. The purpose
is to provide flight instruction of sufficient scope to qualify the student in the
basic principles of flying in aircraft of 65-200 horsepower. Flight training includes
solo flying by the students.
The student qualifies for appointment as a commissioned reserve officer upon
completion of the Advanced Course and the award of the baccalaureate degree.
Students designated as distinguished military graduates may apply for appointment
in the regular Air Force.
