Pilot Pinning Ceremony
- Kent
Earning your Private Pilot Certificate is the first step towards an exciting career as a professional aviator. Let鈥檚 Commemorate and Celebrate!
Students who have earned their Private Pilot Certificate at 性福五月天 University or have completed their first flight course at 性福五月天 University are invited to participate in the ceremonial pinning of wings. Private pilots will receive two sets of wings from an alumni professional pilot from 性福五月天 University. The wings will differ in size and include larger set to be worn at formal events and gatherings and a smaller lapel set to be worn in business casual settings.
Our industry partners are also proud to honor this accomplishment and will have a presence at this ceremony. Leaders and talent recruiters will be in attendance and are looking forward to talking with students about their career goals and the opportunities that exist within their companies and organizations.
Students who are recognized at this ceremony will:
- Receive custom-designed metal 性福五月天 wings and secondary lapel pin
- Create connections with 性福五月天 alumni pilots and industry partners
- Celebrate their achievements with family, friends, and support systems, who are also invited (and encouraged!) to attend.
Students who have received Certified Flight Instructor certifications are honored with an additional set of wings to commemorate the transition from student to mentor.
Registration
Alumni who will be pinning students and students receiving their pins may attend this event free of charge. If you would like to bring a guest, tickets must be purchased ($40 each).
