Few industries are as important to the economic and social well-being of a nation as transportation. Aviation is an integral part of the infrastructure of a global economy. Yet, since the beginnings of the industry in the 1920’s, as a whole, airlines have struggled to earn a sustainable profit. This industry has long faced significant structural impediments toward achievement of that basic objective.  This course explores these challenges, but also studies the innovative methods utilized by airlines to overcome and be successful in aspects of this global industry.

This course provides the student with an overview of security systems, existing and evolving, at the nation's airports. Every airport operator serving aircraft operation is required by the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Administration to provide a security program to maintain the integrity and continuity of the air traffic system.

This course covers air transport topics assessed in the FAA ATP and Aircraft Dispatcher Knowledge examinations. This course does not, however, fulfill all the specific training requirements of 14 CFR 156 for a student to be eligible to take the FAA knowledge exam. The overall goal of this course is to introduce aviation students to the larger environment of global airline transport pilot operations. Students learn about Federal Aviation Regulations aircraft systems, the theory of flight, aerodynamics, meteorology with respect to engine operations, and weight and balance computations.

The purpose of this class is to provide study and familiarization of the MD-82, B-777, and B-787 aircraft systems and their operation.
