SPECIALIZED LABS & HANDS-ON LEARNING
NEXT LEVEL FLIGHT TRAINING Where Innovation Meets Immersive Flight Training Embry-Riddle’s Prescott Campus is at the forefront of aviation training, integrating advanced technologies to prepare students for dynamic aerospace careers. The campus boasts a fleet of 80 aircraft, including the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, which is instrumental in training aspiring pilots. In a recent initiative, Embry-Riddle introduced a state-of-the-art flight simulation center designed to enhance pilot training. This facility better prepares students for roles as pilots by providing realistic flight scenarios that develop critical decision-making skills.
IMMERSIVE. REALISTIC. UNMATCHED.
Complementing traditional simulators, the university has expanded its Virtual Reality (VR) flight-training program. By immersing students in 360-degree virtual environments, VR training builds confidence and reduces anxiety before actual flight sessions. This approach acclimates students to the flight deck environment, enhancing overall training efficacy and cost effectiveness. “Frontloading the program with VR in this way also builds students’ confidence and reduces their anxiety — which is the main barrier to learning.” Dr. David Thirtyacre Assistant Professor and Chair Backed by these innovative training methods, Embry-Riddle ensures that its graduates are well-equipped to meet the demands of modern aviation careers.
