- *Fees listed are based upon average hours as listed in the chart above. Due to varying levels of student ability, the minimum times may be exceeded, necessitating the payment of overflight fees at the completion of the course.

- **These courses are not mandatory for the Professional Pilot major.
- Weight and Balance Acknowledgement: Course fees are assigned according to the aircraft operational rates as listed on the next page.
