“Over the next 18 months to two years, Embry-Riddle will be making major transformational investments that ensure our flight operation is best in class,” Northrup said. “We’re the largest and best collegiate flight training program in the mountain west, and these improvements will have a very positive impact on the student experience.”
“Embry-Riddle is making a major investment in flight training facilities at the Prescott Campus to ensure they are reflective of our status as a world- class aviation institution,” Howard said. “I want students, flight instructors and flight personnel to know that Embry-Riddle is pressing forward with these historic improvements.” F7 will encompass 16,000 square feet of space for simulators and student-focused space, as well as room to add a full-motion simulator bay. Modern digital infrastructure will support high- fidelity simulators. An observatory deck will allow students to see flight patterns more easily. Parker Northrup, chair of the Prescott Flight Department , said that Embry-Riddle is working to buy a new fleet of simulators. Meanwhile, plans are also underway for a Strategic Academic Flight Education Complex (SAFE) on the north side of Prescott Airport that would double aircraft capacity. The first phase of the SAFE project is expected to go live by January 2025, Northrup said.
