Default K-State gets the 1,000 hr exemption

Kansas Pilot Program Gets FAA Exemption.

The AP (7/25) reports that the Kansas State University at Salina’s pilot program has been granted an exemption from the FAA “that will allow students to become professional co-pilots more quickly than other schools’ graduates.” Instead of being required to fly 1,500 hours before becoming co-pilots, graduated will only have to fly 1,000 hours. Kurt Barnhart, an official at the school, “said the exemption gives the students advantages in time and cost over students at flight schools that don’t meet the FAA requirements.”

Is there some fee involved where the university has to pay the FAA for this accreditation?

So then most college aviation programs will soon follow to stay competitive.

KSU has a top-notch, 4 year, accredited professional aviation program. I like the fact that they have the distinction of being the first program to get the R-ATP exemption.
