Our faculty are FAA-licensed traditional pilots and instructors with extensive military backgrounds who bring a wealth of hands-on experience from training missions in the U.S. and around the world, including Germany, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, Bahamas, Malaysia, India, Brazil and the U.K. With both in-person and online options, our courses are accessible to students across the globe through Embry-Riddle's Worldwide & Online network.

We’re here to prepare the next generation of aviation professionals with the knowledge, skills and judgment they need to thrive in a fast-evolving global industry. The Department of Flight supports students, faculty and staff with access to uncrewed systems, advanced training and research support.

We achieve this through:

• A strong safety culture at every level
• Top-quality faculty and instructional staff
• Hands-on, scenario-based flight training
• Industry partnerships and collaborations
• Modern flight systems and tools are integrated into the curriculum
• A structured, standardized and professional training program
• Ongoing program improvement through quality management
• Courses aligned with real-world industry expectations

Interested in earning even more credentials? At the undergraduate level, students can add the Small Uncrewed Aircraft System Operation Minor to strengthen their focus in this field. Graduate students can pursue the Small Uncrewed Aircraft System Operation Specialization as part of their advanced studies. Both options are designed to build knowledge, skills and abilities in UAS safety, operations and applications while supporting your path toward sUAS operator certification within the academic structure of your degree.

Note: Students pursuing the minor or specialization in Small Uncrewed Aircraft System Operations flight training courses (including UNSY 435, 440, 520 and 620) must be physically located in the U.S. during the courses and able to obtain a U.S. Part 107 remote pilot certification.
