AVIT 100 Aviation Orientation This course is required for all aviation majors. Its purpose is to prepare new students for their university and professional careers by discussing students' responsibilities and options concerning the aviation industry. Aviation career options will be explored. Academic and airport requirements and procedures will be covered. AVIT 102 Introduction to Aviation The course will develop the student's knowledge and skills that are needed to safely exercise the privileges and responsibilities of a Private Pilot. Course content includes instruction in aerodynamics, aircraft systems, FAA regulations, U.S. Airspace System, weight and balance, aircraft performance, aviation weather, flight publications, radio navigation , cross country planning and navigation, basic flight physiology, and flight safety. The student must complete the appropriate flight lessons to satisfactorily complete the course. AVIT 221 Basic Attitude Instrument Flying This course will include an in-depth study of pitot/static and gyro instruments and basic attitude instrument flying. In addition, the operation, interpretation and practical use of VOR, ADF, DME, GPS, RNAV, RMI, HSI, and Integrated Flight Control systems will be studied. The student must complete the appropriate flight lessons to satisfactorily complete the course. Prerequisite: AVIT 102. AVIT 222 IFR Regulations and Procedures This course will provide the student with a detailed study of the regulations, procedures, and publications necessary for operating IFR in the national airspace system. Terminal and enroute procedures will be studied in detail. The student must complete the appropriate flight lessons to satisfactorily complete the course. AVIT 223/323 Aerodynamics - Airplanes This course will provide the student a study of the physical principles of airplane aerodynamics, thereby fostering an appreciation of the factors affecting aircraft performance, stability and control, and special flight conditions often experienced by commercial pilots of fixed-wing aircraft. rerequisites and corequisite required. AVIT 224/324 Aircraft Systems This course provides an in-depth study of reciprocating engine, propeller, electrical, environmental, hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, ignition, lubrication, and pressurization systems.
