Course Name	Course Number	Objectives
Air Transportation	AERO 152	Students will Identify the events, persons, equipment, facilities, and legislation which led to the development of the air transportation industry Students will analyze the economic and marketing process within a typical airline Distinguish economic, cultural, and political factors impacting the air transportation industry Identify the events, persons, equipment, facilities, and legislation which led to development of air transportation industry Evaluate the administrative processes of agencies regulating air transportation industry Identify the components of a commercial organization which administers and operates a typical airline Analyze economic and marketing process within a typical airline Identify organizations controlling the regulatory processes in international aviation Analyze aviation career opportunities in regard to personal strengths and weaknesses, minimum job requirements, and job outlook
Aircraft and Engines	AERO 202	Analyze operation of jet engine fuel systems, fuel storage, and fuel transfer. Identify engine components and their function on a four-stroke aircraft engine. Students will be able to identify the Four Stroke Engine Cycle and the components of the aircraft engine Interpret aircraft schematic diagrams and illustrated parts breakdowns. Diagram basic aircraft subsystems, including hydraulic systems and pneumatic systems (to include identification of system components and their function).
Aviation Safety and Human Factors	AERO 200	Identify strategies recommended to reduce hazardous personal attitudes leading to pilot error and aviation accidents.
Aviation Weather	AERO 102	Appraise cause and effect of evaporation, saturation, condensation, and precipitation on atmosphere's water cycle. Students will be able to decipher Federal Aviation Administration hourly airport weather observations (METAR) and terminal aerodrome forecasts (TAF). Encode and decode hourly surface weather observations; and decode pilot reports, terminal forecasts, area forecasts, winds aloft forecasts, and meteorological advisories. Correlate and summarize the aviation weather conditions and forecast for a specific location on a particular day using U.S. Low-Level Significant Weather Prognostic Chart, High-Level Significant Weather Prognostic Chart, and the Radar Summary Chart. Identify layers of earth's atmosphere and determine height and at least one characteristic of each layer. Relate differences in true altitude, actual altitude, indicated altitude, and pressure altitude.
Commercial Pilot Ground School	AERO 150	Calculate aircraft performance data necessary for takeoff and landing, and cross-country flight. Explain the principles of flight and aerodynamics as they relate to high-performance aircraft. Students completing the course will be able to compute takeoff and landing data. Describe the objective, procedures, and common errors of the Commercial Pilot flight maneuvers. Students will be able to compute weight and balance calculations that include 'weight shift' and 'weight change' problems Diagram the basic fuel system of a single-engine aircraft and relate the function of individual components to the overall system. Appraise takeoff decisions based on computed aircraft weight and balance, including center of gravity and the aircraft's safe operating limitations.
Federal Aviation Regulations	AERO 104	Classify airspace by operational differences and equipment requirements. Analyze requirements for Visual Flight Rules operations, including weather minimums in a variety of airspace scenarios. Identify the FAA eligibility requirements, aeronautical knowledge requirements and aeronautical experience requirements for each FAA pilot certificate and rating. Examine the variety of planning requirements for cross-country flights including an analysis of FAR Part 1 regulations. Students will be able to identify, classify, and describe FAA airspace by the operational differences and equipment requirements. Identify the terms and vocabulary associated with aviation terminology and federal aviation regulations.
Instrument Ground School	AERO 252	Eighty-five percent (85%) will score 85% or higher when diagraming holding patterns and holding pattern entries using a variety of radio navigation systems.
Navigation	AERO 250	Calculate solutions to aircraft performance charts and dead-reckoning navigation problems using a manual flight computer.
Primary Pilot Ground School	AERO 100	Use and read six basic flight instruments. Students will be able to compute safe limits of aircraft weight and balance on light aircraft. Students will demonstrate their understanding of the various procedures and techniques utilized in cross-country flight navigation Identify terms and vocabulary associated with piloting and air traffic control. Calculate and complete a flight planning log using aircraft performance data, aeronautical charts, navigation plotter, and manual flight computer. Analyze the fundamentals of airplane and helicopter aerodynamics and flight characteristics. Recognize symbols and decode data from aeronautical charts. Interpret radio navigation instruments and determine the aircraft line of position.
