The University Planning Committee has recommended approval of the flat fee of $275 for this course, as proposed by the Institute of Aviation and endorsed by the Chancellor. This rate would make the fee consistent with other fees for flight courses in the Institute in terms of the cost of operating the aircraft to be used for the required number of hours of flight time per semester.
