  • Really easy course that basically goes over all the stuff from 101 while adding some instrument stuff and PPL test prep. Super chill especially after 101.

  • Much easier than 101! I really don't love how outdated the slides are and the way the instructors teach a lot of the information is much easier to understand. And the quizzes desperately need to be updated (same with 101)

u/SuperVC10: “… Also, for AVIA 102, where flying is required during the Spring term, is it possible to complete this sooner? As an international student, I would like to go home for the summer. I've been on the fence as to which pathway I want to take to become a pilot. …”

u/FlyGuy3000: “… For AVIA 102, where flying is required during the Spring term, is it possible to complete this sooner? -Definitely but it all depends on your progress in flying if you can complete the flight test and all that. How's life on campus as a whole as well? …”
