Length of course: 2nd semester .50 credit
Exploring the regulatory and safety organizations and infrastructure that are essential to today’s aviation environment, students will define safety and examine concepts such as perceived and accepted risk before developing their own safety management systems.
They’ll go on to investigate the role of regulation and oversight in creating and maintaining safety and efficiency within the aviation system and gain an understanding of the mission and responsibilities of the FAA.
Later, students will consider the role of the National Transportation Safety Board and take an in-depth look at the accident investigation process as they take on the roles of various NTSB “Go Team” members in a simulated accident investigation.
Finally, students will examine the government’s roles in delivering weather information and the importance of weather reporting to aviation safety.
