A survey of aviation from its beginning with early myths, through gliders, balloon flights and powered flight to the present jet age. Includes effects of wars on the development of civil and military aircraft and discusses significant personnel flights and aircraft in tracing the advancement of general, commercial, and military aircraft. The major emphasis of the course will be directed towards the development of aviation in the United States.

This course, together with ATT1100, provides the basic aeronautical knowledge for the professional pilot and aviation operation programs. The two courses must be taken concurrently unless the student's major is Airport Operations Management or Aviation Maintenance Management, in which only ATT1100 is required. The areas of study include airport operations, airspace, flight information publications, basic air navigation including pertinent regulations, preflight planning, cross country navigation, and radio navigation. Successful completion of ATT1100 and ASC1100 will prepare students for the FAA Private Pilot (airplane) Computerized Knowledge Exam.

A study of the basic concepts of meteorology, temperature pressure, moisture, stability, clouds, air masses, fronts, thunderstorms, icing, and fog analysis and use of weather data; interpretation of the National Weather Service maps, reports and forecasts. Prerequisite: private pilot's license or instructor's permission.

An analysis of the physical laws and aerodynamic principles which govern flight, aircraft stability and control, weight and balance, and aircraft instruments affecting flight as well as operational considerations of controllable pitch propellers, retractable gear, weather, and precision maneuvers.

This course discusses aircraft engine types and theory of operation, materials and construction models of aircraft structures, operations of hydraulic, electrical, fuel, pressurization, anti- icing, and heating and instrument systems, including sources of power for their operation.

Methods and procedures for the solution of advanced pilotage and dead reckoning problems. Functioning, capabilities, and limitations of radio navigation systems. Prerequisite: private pilot's license or instructor's permission.

An introduction and analysis of the regulations and laws governing airport and airline operations, incorporating aviation safety. Topics of discussion include the major regulations to include:Federal Aviation Regulations (FARS) 77, 108, 121, 129, 135, 139,150, CFR 1520, 1540, 1520, and 1544 and NTSB 830. These topics will include navigable airspace, airport noise and the applicable Advisory Circulars (AC) that explain compliance. Additionally, topics of discussion will include an overview of how the regulations are governed and administered, compliance with regulations, non-compliance, and management of government regulations.

The primary goal of this course is to provide aspiring aviation professionals with a comprehensive understanding and enhanced awareness of aviation safety. Class will participate in analyzing the probable cause of selected aviation accidents, review detailed analyses of accidents related to topics of human factors, runway incursions, weather, mid-air collisions and mechanical and maintenance issues. Federal agencies which regulate aviation with emphasis on those concerned with safety will also be studied.

A course designed to provide training in a student's field of study through work experience. Students are graded on the basis of documentation of learning acquired as reported by student and employer. Prerequisite: Co-Op Department approval. Students will be assigned specific course prefixes related to their academic major prior to registration. All students must contact the Co-operative Education Office to obtain registration approval.

The concepts of weather, weather hazards, meteorological flight planning, aviation weather equipment, and consideration of weather conditions as they relate to aircraft and flight performance are included.

An advanced class in the human factors which affect flight performance and safety. CRM skills are emphasized along with leadership, teamwork, followership, decision-making, and communication skills.

Flight planning for transport category aircraft is covered including weight and balance, aircraft instrumentation and performance, the use of airline manuals, fuel calculations and route planning.

A continuation of Advanced Human Factors I, covers crew briefing, task management, use of checklists, safety briefings, and passenger conflict management.

This course offers students the opportunity to explore advanced theoretical concepts in aerodynamics. Broad topics such as incompressible flow, airfoil theory, and wing theory are covered. Further, students examine the calculation of stall speed, drag, and maximum endurance and range. Configuration changes, high- and low-speed conditions, special flight conditions, and an introduction to compressible flow are also addressed. Special consideration of the application of high-altitude aerodynamics in flight operations is included.

A combination classroom and hands-on class covering the operations of Transport Category (TC) aircraft systems technology including advanced navigational equipment. Emphasis is placed on interpreting the systems output including the computer interfaces between components.
