AVSC 201 The National Airspace System

Credit 3
Students review federal aviation regulations (FAR), the National Airspace System (NAS) structure, equipment, and cloud clearance requirements for the different airspace classifications including special use airspace (SUA). Students study the different air traffic control (ATC) facilities, terminal and en-route, to learn the various controller positions and functions. Students use the ATC simulator to demonstrate confidence in their ability to safely control at least 10 aircraft in a high density terminal environment. Students plan a flight and fly their flight plan on the flight simulator, describing the airspace and communications requirements as they proceed. Future plans for the NAS are discussed. Prerequisite(s): AVSC 112 . Lab Fee $350.
