This course will incorporate evidence-based practice principles to progress the student¿s critically appraised topic research project in the degree program. Students will analyze existing scientific evidence to answer a clinical research question and create a research poster for public presentation. This course is intended for the graduate athletic training student.

Required for new students entering the Aviation Program. Course covers academic planning, degree audits, flight lab registration and completion requirements, and tips that students can apply to achieve success in the program.

A study of how aviation fits into our modern world, relation to business, and contribution to the economy. Study of aviation as a visible alternative in transportation.

Aviation Terminology teaches international students the terms and meanings of airports, aircraft, and aviation in general. The course will also include instruction in proper pilot and air traffic control radio procedures and methods when in flight and on the ground. The course should reduce future difficulties in follow-on aviation management or professional flight courses.

A study of basic aeronautical knowledge including principals of flight, aerodynamics, aviation regulations, weather, visual and instrument navigation, and emergencies. The course meets, but is not limited to 14 CFR 61.105. Satisfactory completion of this course may result in an endorsement for the FAA Private Pilot written exam.

Provides beginning flight student with the in-flight requirements needed to obtain the FAA Private Pilot's Certificate.

AVIA 243, Instrument Pilot Flight Lab II, continues the flight lab progression in the MSU aviation program to the second stage of the Instrument Pilot flight lab. The FAA requires each pilot to obtain their Instrument Pilot flight certificate to fly in instrument weather conditions. The course reviews and expands the classroom knowledge received in the Instrument Pilot Ground Course as well as the skills developed in AVIA 241. The training flights continue the building block approach to training with student pilots gradually obtaining the skills to fly in all instrument conditions and to pass an FAA administered practical examination.

A study of advanced aeronautical knowledge, including aerodynamics, aviation regulations, weather, visual and instrument navigation, and emergencies. The course meets, but is not limited to 14 CFR 61.125(b). Satisfactory completion of this course may result in an endorsement for the FAA Commercial Pilot written exam.

Prerequisites:

AVIA 153, AVIA 240

Prepares advanced flight students with the in-flight requirements needed to obtain the FAA Commercial Pilot's Certificate.

Prepares advanced flight students with the in-flight requirements needed to obtain the FAA Commerical Pilot Helicopter Certificate.

Prerequisites:

AVIA 152, AVIA 242

AVIA 253, Commercial Pilot Flight Lab II, continues the flight lab progression in the MSU aviation program. The FAA requires each pilot to obtain their Commercial Pilot flight certificate to be compensated for work as a pilot. This stage two course of the Commercial Pilot flight lab reviews and expands where required the classroom knowledge received in the Commercial Pilot Ground Course. The training flights use a building block approach to training with student pilots gradually obtaining the skills to fly the more difficult manuvers and to pass an FAA administered practical examination.

Study of Helicopter theory to meet FAA part 141 certification requirements for helicopter.

Prerequisites:

AVIA 150, AVIA 250, AVIA 260

This course covers all the knowledge areas required for the FAA helicopter private, instrument and commercial pilot certification at a deeper and more academic level.

Prerequisites:

ENG 271W or ENG 272W

This course will teach students to communicate tactical and strategic messages through written and oral means. Students will develop public speaking skills specific to the aviation industry to include aviation interviewing techniques, crisis communication, and passenger communication. Students will develop their professional resume specific to their career choice.

Students train for and participate in intercollegiate flight competition as a member of the MSU Flight Team. An additional fee is required during semesters in which the team participates in competition. A maximum of 4 credits can be earned.
