Daytona Beach, Fla., July 11, 2007 -- More than 85 instructor pilots at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University – Daytona Beach have found great jobs in the airline industry in the last year.

The fleet also includes six Piper Arrows, one Decathlon (for upset training), 11 general aviation level-six flight-training devices with 220-degree visuals, and one level-six CRJ200 with a 180-degree display. Each aircraft is equipped with an ADS-B or TIS collision-avoidance system.
