Daytona Beach Campus - College of Aviation Aeronautical Science Department Facilities
College of Aviation
The new building is home to the departments of Aeronautical Science, Applied Aviation Sciences, and Flight. These departments offer degree programs in Aeronautical Science (for professional pilots), Aeronautical Systems Maintenance, Aerospace Electronics, Air Traffic Management, Applied Meteorology, Aeronautics, and Safety Science. Aeronautical Science DepartmentThe 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. The Aviation Building also contains the Normobaric High-Altitude Lab, Computer-Based Training Laboratory, Flight Tutoring Laboratory, Propulsion and Systems Laboratory, Safe Skies Laboratory, Spatial-Disorientation Training Lab, Air Traffic Control Simulation Laboratories, Air Traffic Management Research Laboratory, Weather Center and Meteorology Laboratories and several GATs. Until recently, hypoxia training has usually been done inside hypobaric chambers primarily at military bases. Now, thanks to CAT, there's a safer 21st-Century alternative at a fraction of the cost. Our Hypoxic Aviation Systems can achieve up to 30,000' in a tent, modular enclosure, or even a flight simulator....with few of the drawbacks of a low-pressure chamber. CAT's latest ultra-high-altitude system, shown here in the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University configuration, is a breakthrough product for the aviation industry, allowing pilots to experience hypoxia in a relatively safe, convenient environment, at a fraction of the cost of a depressurization chamber Contaminated Airfoil Training Aid |
