The offices of the Aeronautical Science Department are located on the second floor of the Aviation Building. The second floor houses the Aircraft Performance Laboratory contains 30 computerized replicas of the automated glass instrument panel and manual controls of a major transport aircraft that allow students to "fly" the aircraft's performance profile and interact with the instructor.

Electronic Navigation Laboratory features special PCs equipped with flight controls and Embry-Riddle-developed software that allows students to compute performance criteria and explore different flight scenarios.

Flight Techniques Laboratory is equipped for seminars supporting collaborative learning.

The Aviation Building also contains the Computer-Based Training Laboratory, Flight Tutoring Laboratory,  Propulsion and Systems Laboratory, Safe Skies Laboratory, Air Traffic Control Simulation Laboratories, Air Traffic Management Research Laboratory, Weather Center and Meteorology Laboratories.
