About Aviation
Flight Operations at DWC
The Aviation Flight
Operations program provides a solid
educational foundation with professional
pilot training and flexibility for
additional study in aviation management or
other fields. It is designed to prepare
students for employment as professional
pilots and for leadership roles in a variety
of flight operations settings.
The Daniel Webster College
Professional Pilot Education Course consists
of a sequence of required flight practicums,
correlated with associated classroom
courses. Each course is based upon mastery
of critical flying skills, aeronautical
knowledge, and the development and seasoning
of pilot judgment through progressively more
challenging "Line-Oriented Flight Training
(LOFT)" tasks and missions, conducted in a
mix of uniquely capable instructional
aircraft and flight simulators. All training
paths will prepare students for the FAA
Commercial Pilot certificate with Instrument
Rating with options to proceed with the
Multi-engine rating courses and/or training
for the Certified Flight Instructor (CFI)
certificate. Many students who culminate
with their CFI seek employment with DWC as a
flight instructor after graduation.

very few collegiate aviation programs that uses
motorgliders as an integral part of its flight
training program. Their use is very beneficial
to the understanding of aerodynamics and the
impact of micrometeorology.

single-engine training aircraft with retractable
gear and a powerful 200-horsepower Lycoming
engine are especially comfortable and fun to

displays, as well as auto pilot. These aircraft
are known for their exceptional performance
level.
Piper PA-44-180 "Seminole" Multiengine Trainers.
>> These
twin-engine planes are powered by two
180-horsepower Lycoming engines, and provide
unique and vital advanced instrument training
capabilities. They are equipped with advanced

DID YOU KNOW?
Within a one hour flight from Nashua, a student
can be over the Atlantic seacoast, the White
Mountains, Connecticut farmland, or urban
Boston, MA and they are immersed in every
classification of airspace in doing so.
International flight operations to Canada are
also a part of the crew flight training core...
unique to Daniel Webster College
New Hampshire also experiences
all four seasons, adding a critical
understanding of weather to the curriculum. It
is important to know and adapt to weather as a
professional pilot. The real world requires it.
Real skills develop from real situations. DWC
is as real as it gets.
