This course examines the common concepts of crew resource management as developed by major air carriers. Topics include supervision of crew members, counseling, accountability, coordination and relationship of authority.

A comprehensive examination of the U.S. national air traffic control system and how it affects aviation in general, and pilots and safety in particular, this course covers the air traffic control system (enroute, terminal and Flight Service Stations), air traffic control personnel, training, duties and facilities.

This study of aircraft systems includes hydraulics, air-conditioning, cabin pressurization, anti-icing systems, fuel systems, electrical systems, landing systems, flight control systems, fire-detection systems and pneumatic systems. Completion of the course gives students operational understanding of the system of high performance aircraft, including turboprop and other turbine engines.

A comprehensive study of aviation law, this course covers regulatory statutes and federal aviation regulations. Students are also introduced to civil and criminal law as applied to aviation, including such aspects as operation, contracts, insurance, liability, litigation and case law.

This course assists students in preparing for the FAA Commercial Pilot written exam. Classroom instruction includes advanced maneuvers, Federal Aviation Regulations, aerodynamics, weather and safe operation of aircraft. Meets requirements of 14 CFR 141

Students obtain the aeronautical skill and experience necessary to meet the requirements for a commercial pilot certificate with an airplane category rating and single-engine class rating. Students are introduced to commercial maneuvers and complex/high performance operations. The credit hours will post to the student's transcript upon completion of the FAA Commercial Pilot Practical Exam.

This survey of the historical developments of air transportation systems covers facilities; impact of regulations; problems encountered in commercial transportation; airline economics, management and organization; role of governments in air transportation; and economic, social, political, and future implications of air transportation. Human dependency on air transportation is ever increasing because of globalization of economies and the need to make great use of scarce time. It is therefore of prime importance for students in aviation, particularly those in flight, to study the development of the industry and how it affects society and the economy.

The motor carrier industry played an important role in the development of the U.S. economy during the 20th century. Students will study the structure of the market, the nature of competition within this transportation mode, the types of terminals utilized, and carrier rate negotiations. Students will study management functions in terminal operations as well as staff functions such as fleet management.

The objective of this class is to prepare students to deal with safety issues, as they pertain to the aviation industry, through a comprehensive study and analysis of aviation safety programs. This course also includes an examination of the factors related to aircraft crashes.
