Desktop Flight Simulators
The Aviation Science and Technology Flight Lab is equipped with 8 Flight Desktop Simulators, 2 Fixed Training Devices (FRASCA’S), and a Fidelity Full Motion Simulator.
The primary purpose of the flight lab is to give students hands-on experience of what goes on in the cockpit of an aircraft, and to understand the basic fundamentals of flight. The courses offered pertaining to flight are Introduction to Flight, Private Pilot Flight, and Private Pilot Ground. These are introductory courses designed for familiarization with flight instruments, how they work and what information they provide to the pilot.

The training given in the flight lab will enhance students’ knowledge of aircraft and their operating procedures. Should a student go on to pursue taking flying lessons, the student will be familiar with an aircraft and its parts as well as the instruments and how they operate. Currently there are ten graduates of the Aviation Science and Technology department that have become pilots, seven of which fly for Continental/United Airlines, one who is a pilot for Southwest Airlines, and two who are flight instructors.
