3.00 Credits
This course will provide an introduction to transport category aircraft turboprop, turbofan, and turboshaft engines and transport category aircraft performance. Includes turbine engines through the study of their historical development, theory of operation, the function of critical engine components, and engine instrumentation and controls. Transport category aircraft performance characteristics such as V-speeds, flight profiles, high altitude operations, weight and balance, fuel management, flight controls, and abnormal and emergency procedures will be discussed. This course may be offered online. (Fall, Spring) [Graded (Standard Letter)] Prerequisite(s): Instructor or department permission Registration Restriction(s): None Equivalent Course(s): AVTN 6770
-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
Work-related learning experience carefully coordinated between instructor, student, and employer. The work experience must be associated with aviation. This course has flexible credit hours depending on the number of hours the student anticipates working for the employer. A maximum of six (6) hours of internship may be counted toward the major. This course may be offered online. (As Needed) [Pass/Fail] Prerequisite(s): Instructor or department permission Repeatable for Add?l Credit? Yes - Total Credits: 6 Registration Restriction(s): None
-
3.00 Credits
The student will be introduced to the applicable regulations issue by the FAA for private pilot privileges. The course will discuss safe and efficient operation of single engine airplanes including collision avoidance, aerodynamics, powerplants, aircraft systems, recognitions and avoidance of wake turbulence, pre-flight action, takeoff and landing distances, radar and ATC services, and proper radio usage. The student will be introduced to aviation related meteorology, procuring weather information, interpreting printed and graphic weather products, aircraft performance, weight and balance, planning for cross-country flights, and physiological factors that may affect pilots. (As Needed) [Graded (Standard Letter)] Registration Restriction(s): None
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the economic aspects of the air transportation industry. Includes airline service, corporate aviation, types of aircraft, airports, types of airports, airport problems, consumer interests, and competitive practices. Introduces foundational principles of free enterprise, private and social implications of profit maximization, market structure and market share, resource markets, economic and industry cycles, and the effects of inflation and deflation on short- and long-term economic growth. Introduces competitive advantage, air transport demand, pricing, break even analysis, revenue and capacity management, cost drivers, supply and demand, profit and loss, profit vs cash flow, political influences, and regulatory issues. (As Needed) [Graded (Standard Letter)] Registration Restriction(s): None Equivalent Course(s): AVTN 4020

3.00 Credits
This course will explore the elements of the current Air Traffic Control system. Discussions will include the historical evolution of the air traffic control and the national airspace systems in the United States. Emphasis will be on current operational issues and how air traffic management is changing. Covers control tower, approach, and center responsibilities, radar environments including ground radar and non-radar control environments. Will cover the ATC differences between VFR & IFR flight operations, in-flight and ground emergencies, bomb and hijacking threat procedures, search and rescue, and runway incursions. (As Needed) [Graded (Standard Letter)] Registration Restriction(s): None Equivalent Course(s): AVTN 3410
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes the concepts of Aeronautical Decision Making (ADM) and Crew Resource Management (CRM). Provides a discussion of the human factors involved in aviation including an exploration of the interactions between people and their work environment and between fellow workers and crew members. Includes relevant topics from basic learning theory, human heuristics and biases, aviation safety, aviation accident investigations, and aviation education and training. Surveys the study of human behavior as it relates to the aviator?s adaption to the flight environment including function allocation between human and machine, human-computer interface, work environment, person-to-person communications, performance measurement, supervision of crew members, accountability, role management, crew communications, teamwork, leadership, followership, decision-making, and situational awareness. (As Needed) [Graded (Standard Letter)] Registration Restriction(s): None Equivalent Course(s): AVTN 3430
