-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits This course gives the student an opportunity to design, organize and practice several aspects of public speaking. It covers methods for informing, arguing and persuading, while it emphasizes self-presentation, focus on the needs of the audience and the use of illustrative materials. Prerequisites: ENG110, ENG120
-
4.00 Credits
- 4 credits Subjects include theory of flight, environmental effects, basic aircraft and powerplant systems, weight and balance, operating data, basic navigation, basic meteorology, air traffic control principles, aviation safety and federal aviation regulations. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will have gained the aeronautical knowledge and experience necessary to apply for a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) private pilot written examination. A grade of "C" or betteris required to complete this course. The FAA private pilot written exam must be successfully passed within 30 days of the end of classes to complete this course, unless this course is taken as an elective. Prerequisites: Class II FAA medical certificate and financial counseling; corequisite: flight training, unless this course is taken as an elective
-
4.00 Credits
- 4 credits This course covers instrument pilot operations required to safely and accurately operate an airplane under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) within the National Airspace System. It includes a study of the operation of airplane flight instruments and navigation equipment, meteorology, Federal Aviation Regulations pertinent to instrument flight, air traffic control procedures, flight physiology and instrument approach procedures. The course also includes preparation for the FAA instrument rating written examination. A grade of "C" or better is required tocomplete this course. The FAA instrument rating written exam must be successfully passed within 30 days of the end of classes to complete this course, unless this course is taken as an elective. Prerequisite: FLT110, FAA private pilot written exam
-
2.00 Credits
- 2 credits The intermediate aeronautics lab concentrates on operations of an airplane under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Students will utilize their IFR flying skills in the College's flight simulator (10 hours). Prerequisite: FLT120, FAA instrument written exam; simulator fee is required
-
2.00 Credits
Multiple phases of meteorology are examined and applied by students. Principles of meteorology, familiarization with pre-flight weather briefings, enroute weather reports and weather hazards are studied, preparing students for flight applications. The laboratory portion ensures that the use of Direct User Access Terminals (DUATs) is completely integrated in flight plan pre-paration by using weather maps and forecasts. This course may be taken as a basic science elective and is also part of the required set of courses for any student wishing to participate in the College's partnership program with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Air Traffic-Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) program. A grade of "C" obetter is required for AT-CTI program. Students not in the AT-CTI program may take an alternative section of the weather course.
-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits This course discusses the theory and operation of aircraft systems. Topics include heating ventilation and air conditioning, oxygen and pressurization, fire detection, anti-icing and de-icing, pilot static system, instruments, and fuel system. There is also a comprehensive study of engine operations, performance and systems, required maintenance records and manufacturers' service information. Prerequisite: FLT110
-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits This course will introduce students to concepts of aviation safety as well as practical methods of maintaining safety. Students will gain factual and conceptual knowledge to conduct current and future aviation operations in a professional and safe manner. The role of safety programs in management is also discussed.
-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits This course covers federal regulations and operations pertaining to the duties of a commercial pilot. Principles of advanced flight maneuvers and procedures required to meet FAA standards are included. Preparation for FAA commercial pilot written exam is included. A grade of "C" or better is required tocomplete this course. The FAA commercial pilot written exam must be successfully passed within 30 days of the end of classes to complete this course, unless this course is taken as an elective. Prerequisite: FLT120, FAA instrument written exam
-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits Students will be introduced to basic human factors issues for pilots. This course explores applications of understanding of human behavior and physiology to the design, evaluation, operation and maintenance of aviation systems, in order to improve efficiency and safety. In addition, each student will conduct a human factors research project.
-
3.00 Credits
- 3 credits (2 credits lecture, 1 credit lab) This course will introduce students to topics on airport communications and airspace use, including separation, Federal Airworthiness Regulations (FARs), principles of flight, wake turbulence and aircraft characteristics and recognition, weather, with particular emphasis on air traffic control systems. A basic knowledge of meteorology will be required. This course is intended for students who are not enrolled in the associate in applied science or bachelor in aircraft operations (flight) degree programs, but those who intend to become eligible for recommendation to the AT-CTI program. This course may be taken as an elective for some programs. Completion of this course with a grade of "C" or better, withFLT351 Air Traffic Control II, FLT231 Aviation Weather and FAA-required counseling, would allow students to become eligible for recommendation to the AT-CTI program. Refer to the AT-CTI program description in this catalog for more information on FAA requirements.
