ATC 220 - ATC Weather

2 credit(s)
Multiple phases of meteorology are examined and applied by students. Principles of meteorology, familiarization with preflight weather briefings, en-route weather reports and weather hazards are studied, preparing students for flight applications. The laboratory portion ensures that the use of the Aviation Digital Data Service (ADDS) is completely integrated into flight plan preparation by using weather maps and forecasts. This course can be taken as a basic science elective and is also part of the required set of courses for any student wishing to participate in the College’s partnership program with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Air Traffic-Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) program. A grade of “C” or better is required for the AT-CTI program. Students not in the AT- CTI program can take an alternative section of the weather course, FLT 230, Aviation Weather. Both ATC 220 and ATC220L and FLT 230 also count as math/science electives. FAA RATP Qualified
