As a result of this anyone interested in the Traffic Controller field must come from a highly renowned school with a great recommendation…..(drumroll please)…Embry Riddle Prescott can help you!!!!

Students in the Air Traffic Control Lab

We have an Air Traffic Control Lab that students are able to take courses in and run simulations to improve their skills. The Lab is very unique in the fact that it is modeled after the Traffic Control Center in Albuquerque New Mexico. It is actually supplied with live weather feeds from the Meteorology Lab on campus so that the students may get as real life of a simulation as possible. The ATC Lab actually communicates with the Air way Science lab as well so that during certain exercises the ATC students may practice telling pilots who are flying simulators in the Air Way Science lab what they need to do to react to weather patterns and other in Flight situations.

This program is a great start to a career in the Air Traffic Controlling field because this school is well known for producing the very best Pilots, Air Traffic Controllers, and Engineers in the Country. Because we are so well known we often have students that are hired right after graduation and some even get internships over summer which then lead to their future jobs.

So in this job market, Riddle is the place to be to insure that you have a great future in whatever field you choose 😀 Please stop on by or schedule a visit we are more than happy to see you!!
