ATCT 2000Introduction to Air Traffic Control3.00
(3.00 lec) This online course introduces you to Aviation and Air Traffic Control (ATC) and provides you with the basic knowledge of aviation terms and concepts you will need to become an Air Traffic Controller. You will learn the background and history of ATC as well as the development of the ATC system. You also will develop an understanding of the environments of ATC, terminal and en route. You will examine rules, procedures and phraseology used in both environments. of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; ENGL 1110; MATH 1110.
(3.00 lec) This online course introduces you to aviation weather and those points necessary for a basic understanding and application of aviation weather as used by air traffic controllers. You will learn the general characteristics of weather formation. You will also compare several sources of weather information used by controllers and different formats for issuing weather to pilots, learning t encode and decode weather information on each. of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; ENGL 1110; MATH 1110. 321
(3.00 lec) This course provides an introduction to the basic terminology, definitions, rules and requirements used in aviation. It will cover the fundamental principles of flight and introduce you to the pilot’s environment. You will examine various publications pertinent to aviation, including the Aeronautical Information Manual and Federal Aviation Regulations. of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; ENGL 1110; MATH 1110.
(3.00 lec) This course examines basic navigation procedures and navigation equipment used in Air Traffic Control. In addition, the course will provide an overview of rules and procedures used by pilots and air traffic controllers in general as well as commercial flight operations. ATCT 2135.
Investigation Analysis and ATC Applications 3.00 credits (3.00 lec) This online course examines regulatory agencies, FAA enforcement of Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) and the relationships between the needs of commercial, military, and general aviation and their impact on ATC. You will analyze and discuss FARs. You will also analyze accidents that have significance in ATC. of READ 0200 or ESOL 0052; ENGL 1110; MATH 1110.
(2.00 lec/1.00 lab) This course explores the terminal ATC environment. You will learn aircraft flight characteristics, navigational aids, airfield lighting, airfield signage, airfield markings and types of airspace used in the terminal area of ATC. You will also examine documentation procedures and the language of ATC, phraseology. You will explore and begin to apply terminal separation rules and procedures by participating in creative classroom exercises. Must be taken A–F. ATCT 2135.
(1.00 lec/2.00 lab) This course teaches ATC flight data computers and communication systems used in en route ATC facilities. You will learn to compose and format messages for coordination and documentation of ATC clearances. You will develop an understanding of the actual computers and communication systems used in en route facilities today. 322
and Introduction to Radar Separation 6.00 credits (2.00 lec/4.00 lab) This course teaches application of separation procedures in ATC and is divided into two parts, both taught primarily in a realistic simulation lab. In part one of this course, you will learn to apply non-radar separation and procedures. In part two, you will apply rules and procedures to separate aircraft using radar. You will participate in hands-on simulated traffic scenarios. You will also develop effective communication, critical- thinking and problem-solving skills needed in ATC.
(2.00 lec/1 lab) This course teaches advanced human factors as they relate to air traffic control. You will learn teamwork, effective communication skills, situational awareness, and efficient workload management in classroom and air traffic control lab settings.
