Show C. P. T. Program Revised To Train Advanced Students At College By M. J. MILES The C. P. T. program has been revised re-vised to provide more advanced training to graduates of the primary prim-ary course. This revision is designed de-signed to take qualified students through a series of advanced courses which lead to the Commercial Com-mercial Pilot's Certificate and the Instructor's rating. Under this new set-up, a second-year college student may receive re-ceive training within the next 12 months that will increase his earning capacity to $250.00 per month and up. Applicants for training under this program must be citizens of the United States, and, because the program is in an adjunct to National Defense, the training is limited to young men. The Cilivian Pilot Training program pro-gram as set for the Fall session is detailed below: Flying Courses Listed Private Course, College Phase. 72 hourse of ground instruction and 35 to 45 hours of flight in-( in-( Continued on page six) C.P.T.

Miles, coordinator of Civilian Pilot Training Train-ing at Dixie junior college. Prospective Pros-pective trainees are urged to get applications in immediately so that they can be reviewed, and, if acceptable, the candidate can be recommended to the medical examiner. This early action is necessary because the time required re-quired for the medical examination examin-ation is approximately three hours, and Dr. W. J. Reichman, the local Civil Aeronautics medical examiner, exam-iner, cannot handle all these examinations ex-aminations at the last minute or on short notice. The summer C. P. T. program is now completed and the college has been asked to train a quota of 20 students in the fall session. It may be pointed out that the college col-lege asked for a quota of ten and was assigned 20. At the same time C. P. T. programs have been removed from Las Vegas, Ely and Reno. Every effort is being made at the college to fill this quota with the hope 'that success in this will enhance the prospect for securing se-curing the advanced programs for Dixie junior college. The advanced courses will require re-quire additional airport facilities with auxiliary runways in the near vicinity for use in case of strong cross-winds. The lack of cross-runways on the present field has thus far prevented approval of advanced courses in C. P. T. at the college. Suitable areas are available for development as soon as local opposition can be overcome. |
