Aviation Technology: Theory (ATT)

ATT1100  AERONAUTICAL SCIENCE  (3.00 Credits)
An introduction to the theory of flight, this course is required for all aviation programs. It includes elementary aerodynamics, the major components of airplanes and their functions, the pertinent Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and basic airspace, aircraft performance and basic navigation, an introduction to meteorology and weather services and human factors. Successful completion of ATT100 and ASC1100 will prepare students for the FAA Private Pilot (airplane) Computerized Knowledge Exam. Professional Pilot Technology and Aviation Operations program majors must take this course concurrently with ASC1100. Prerequisite: College Placement Testing (CPT) scores must place student into college-level courses for English, reading and math; or have instructor's permission.

ATT2821C  ATC RADAR PROCEDURES WITH LAB  (4.00 Credits)
This course covers fundamental requirements for non-radar and terminal radar controllers. It builds on knowledge obtained from ATT2820 and ATT2822c. Topics taught will address non-radar procedures used by many FAA facilities. Additional topics will cover basic terminal approach control radar. In doing so this course will teach the student the procedures they would need to work non-radar and terminal radar. Topics taught will include but limited to, radar systems, non-radar procedures, spacing techniques, clearances, separation and more. The lab portion will utilize the FAA Academy procedures and airspace.
