Flight Operations majors will use the online scheduler, Flight Schedule Pro, to: schedule flight lessons, review lesson objectives, Flight Operations Manual, the current student syllabus, and upcoming events. Students should log in regularly to review their status and flight account balance before each and every flight. Flight Schedule Pro is used in conjunction with the student okramail and they are both the central means of communication on each lesson at the airport. Flight Schedule Pro is also available in the app store.
