Students and instructors in the EMU aviation program are required to adhere to the dress code detailed below. This code shall be in effect when engaged in any official EMU activity, including but not limited to, classroom instruction, flight training, simulator training, field trips, and public functions. The LOMV dress code is business casual, which the Oxford Dictionary defines as: “Relating to or denoting a style of clothing that is less formal than traditional business wear, but is still intended to give a professional and businesslike impression.”
For men: collared shirts, polo shirts, or turtlenecks—no sweatshirts except as outerwear; no t-shirts except as underwear, except that an EMU or Aero-Tech branded t-shirt may be worn as outerwear. Slacks—no jeans, joggers, sweatpants, or shorts.
For women: shirts, polo shirts, blouses, or turtlenecks—no crops, unlayered spaghetti straps, cotton tank tops, or sweatshirts except as outerwear; no t-shirts except as underwear, except that an EMU or Aero-Tech branded t-shirt may be worn as outerwear. Slacks, skirts, or dresses—no jeans, joggers, sweatpants, leggings, or shorts.
For safety reasons, sandals may not be worn in any aircraft.
Upon completion of a student’s first solo flight, he/she will receive an EMU aviation polo shirt. This first polo shirt will be provided by EMU; subsequent purchases are the responsibility of the individual student through the EMU/LandsEnd online storefront.
