Aviation Science (AS Degree S0910)

Upon successful completion of this program, a student will be able to:

• Be familiar with how the National Airspace System has evolved into today’s complex airspace environment; understand current air traffic control separation standards and procedures for both terminal and en route operations; apply those separation standards, procedures, and techniques in a computer simulated environment while being aware of emerging air traffic control technologies and automation.
• Recognize, identify, and remember a wide variety of aircraft including the manufacturer, Federal Aviation Administration identification code, aircraft performance characteristics, and how those characteristics are applied to meet en route and terminal separation standards in a computer driven simulated environment.
• Understand the importance of teamwork among co-workers, the various stages of team development, coping and performing techniques and how to apply them in a scenario-based working environment; recognize a variety of personality types and team behaviors toward becoming a skilled team player as applied to today’s intense air traffic control working environment.
