College of Aviation Tutor and Computer-Based Training (CBT) Labs

Labs are normally open seven days per week and are covered by tuition fees. Lab hours vary to accommodate student needs.

The College of Aviation Tutor Lab (AB144) provides “no-cost” tutoring for all College of Aviation students.

Student in COA labDuring lab operating hours, there are normally two experienced tutors available. A variety of “hands-on” aids is available. Student tutors provide instruction to students who seek assistance in all aspects of flying and flight training, and studies in all Aeronautical Science academic classes. In addition, selected tutors can offer help with Air Traffic Management, Meteorology, and Safety classes.

Tutor Lab Contents:
PCATDs (Personal Computer-operated Aviation Training Devices)

Training devices are convertible from single engine to twin engine, and are capable of simulating flight for training in basic attitude instrument flying (BAI), radio navigation, and all instrument flight procedures, holding patterns, instrument approaches, missed approach procedures, etc.

Flight Student in COA labGPS practice stations: Two Bendix/King KLN 94s and two Garmin G 430s

Variable-pitch propeller assemblies, feathering and non-feathering, flight and gyroscopic instruments, etc.

Videotapes and DVDs


The CBT (computer-based training) Lab offers a wide variety of excellent, effective software programs that provide individual study and practice.

CBT Lab Contents:
Thirty-nine computer stations, connected to network and printer.

All stations have Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, and joysticks.Students in CBT lab

leim practice exam and tutorial program for FAA exams

VFR and IFR Air Traffic Control communications practice program

Boeing 747-400 Aircraft Systems Tutorial Program

Aerosim Boeing 747-400 Virtual Flight Deck software program

Virtual Training System (VTS) for Piper and Cessna airplanes

Garmin G-1000 GPS Glass Cockpit Training Program

Both labs are normally open seven days per week. Lab hours vary to accommodate student needs.


AB-256: Aircraft Performance Lab

In Aerodynamics and Aircraft Performance classes, students learn the math and physics of concepts and principles of aerodynamics, and how math and physics are utilized to create performance tables, charts, and graphs for large jet transport airplanes. Application in labs enhances understanding and learning.

Thirty student computer stations


AB-257: Flight Technique and Electronic Navigation Lab

Students learn the complete operation of large jet transport airplanes, their systems and procedures. They learn to program and operate electronic, automated flight decks, and to fly large jet airplanes with great precision. Students practice working effectively as two-pilot crews. All knowledge and skills acquired in lower-level classes are applied for operating jet transport airplanes, correctly and precisely. A sophisticated, realistic Boeing 747-400 Virtual Flight Deck software program provides the actual “flight” environment.

Thirty students (Separate stations for fifteen two-pilot crews)
