ATC simulation exercises will focus on exposing the student to an understanding and appreciation for ATC fundamentals through simple exercises of realistic air traffic scenarios. On-site visits to air traffic facilities may provide the student with an understanding of the air traffic environment, relationships and interaction among air traffic facilities, and pilot/controller relationships. This course is open to primary ATC and Flight Students. The introductory nature of the material in this course makes it an inappropriate selection for advanced flight students seeking elective credits.
