Aviation Open House
Thursday, October 22, 2020
Stop by the Aero-Tech Services, Inc. facility on Thursday, October 22, from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. Explore a career in aviation and how our degree in Leadership & Organizational Management with an Aviation Concentration can position you for a job within the changing landscape of the aviation industry. We collaborate with Aero-Tech Services, Inc., an FAA-approved Part 141 Pilot School, to provide ground and pilot training. Flight training occurs at the Aero-Tech facility at Lancaster Airport. EMU's partnership with this specialized training provider represents an integrated and collaborative approach to the delivery of a collegiate aviation program.
New Program Developments
- In September, Aero-Tech Services, took delivery of a brand-new 2020 Cessna 172 Skyhawk, in which our Aviation students will train. It is equipped with the Garmin G-1000 advanced-technology cockpit instrumentation system.
- Graduates of EMU's Aviation Program will now have a Multi-engine Rating on their Commercial Pilot Certificate. They will train for this in Aero-Tech Services' recently acquired Grumman Cougar twin-engine airplane.
- EMU's Aviation students also train in Aero-Tech's Redbird flight simulator. This sophisticated high-fidelity motion device can be reconfigured to simulate the different types of aircraft in which our students train in the course of their curriculum at EMU.
Please contact Lisa Campbell at 717-690-8600 or lisa.campbell@emu.edu with any questions that you may have. If you cannot attend the Open House, let us know, we can schedule a time to meet with you.
