ASA 215
Aerodynamics
3:3:0
Prerequisite: MAT 130 Introduces the student to the dynamics of flight through investigation of airfoils and shapes as the y relate to aircraft structures and their interaction with the atmosphere during flight. Analysis of the physics of flight, coefficient of lift, relationship of lift/drag, aerodynamic devices, interaction of airframe/airfoils with atmosphere during flight, low/high speed aerodynamics, mach effects, area rule, and wing sweep are discussed.
ASA 217
Aviation Laws and Regulations
3:3:0
Prerequisite: ASA 111 Designed to provide insight pertinent to federal governing bodies. Current local, federal, and international laws that form the present structure of aviation law are also studied.

Air Carrier Operations
1:1:0
Prerequisite: ASA 211 or permission of instructor Consists of a one hour per week lecture/discussion class period. Students will review and discuss in detail the areas of the F ederal Aviation Regulations appropriate to Part 135 Air Carriers. Subject material of this course is intended to f amiliarize the entry-level commercial pilot with the regulatory requirements of Air/Taxi Charter and Scheduled Air Carriers under Part 1. References to large aircraft operations under Part 121 of the Federal Aviation Regulations will be introduced as appropriate.
ASA 221
Multiengine Flight Theory (Airplane)
Multiengine Flight Practical (Airplane)
2:0:2
Prerequisite: Private Pilot Certificate Corequisite: ASA 221 Applies the principles of multiengine theor y to practical flight exercises in a twin engine aircraft and/or flight simulator . Pilot transitioning from single engine aircraft will be required to appl y procedures necessary for safe continuation or ter mination of the flight when faced with an engine-failure situation.
ASA 227
Physiology/Psychology of Flight
3:3:0
Prerequisite: Private Pilot Certificate A study of the physical and psychological factors of significance to pilots. This includes the causes, symptoms, and emergency treatment of ailments common to the flight en vironment through a basic understanding of the human being’s normal body functions. Hypoxia, hyperventilation, decompression sickness, body heat balance, respiration, circulation, spatial disorientation, vision, and hearing are examined.

Flight Instructor Theory (Airplane)
3:3:0
Prerequisites: Commercial Pilot Certificate and Instrument Rating Designed to provide the appropriate knowledge and skills in compliance with and based on cur rent requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Flight Instructor Certificate. Advanced study of knowledge in areas of teaching/learning in both the flight and ground environments and flight maneuver analysis. Ground instruction in a flight training device is also included. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will possess sufficient knowledge to pass the FAA written and oral examination for the Flight Instructor Certificate.
ASA 231
Flight Practical IV
3:1:6
Prerequisites: FAA Private Pilot Certificate with Instrument Rating; ASA 112, 122, 212 Corequisite: ASA 230 A continuation of the student’s practical flight training. Subject material is from the course content areas listed as appropriate to the student’s progress within the college-recognized, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-approved flight school syllabus. The student will receive a minimum of 40 hours in the air plane and ground instruction in a flight training device is also included. Students will develop commercial flying skills and receive an introduction to Certificated Flight Instructor operations and flight maneuvers. Students will earn Commercial Pilot and Certificated Flight Instructor certificates during this course.
2:2:0
Prerequisite: Private Pilot Certificate Corequisite: ASA 223 Provides basic ground instruction for the single engine pilot to transition to a multiengine aircraft. The greatest emphasis will be placed on the most important factor of transition from single engine to twin engine—that of potential engine f ailure. This advanced theory course involves the pertinent principles of preparation for the multiengine rating.

Emphasizes the unifying themes of biological science—ecology, evolution, and genetics—suitable for non-science majors. No prior background in science is required, although it could be helpful. Laboratory work stresses the hands-on study of living organisms wherever possible, including field work around the campus pond. Animal dissection is not required. This course, providing a framework in the fundamentals of biology, is designed for students continuing in higher le vel biology courses, especially Anatomy and Physiology as well as Microbiology. Introductory lecture/lab course emphasizing the biology of plants. This course is designed for students interested in a career in the plant sciences or who desire a general knowledge of the morphology, anatomy, and physiology of plants and is suitable for both science and non-science majors. The lecture component emphasizes the effects of environment on growth, development, physiology, and reproduction of plants, as well as unifying themes in biological sciences such as ecology, evolution, and diversity. The laboratory component stresses hands-on study of plant cells, tissues, organs, and whole plants. The first part of an in-depth study of moder n biology. BIO 111 (General Biology II) completes the study. Both courses represent a two-part transfer course for biology majors, liberal arts students, or others requiring a one-year (two semester) course in biology. General Biology I will include the topics of ecolo gy, chemistry, and cytology, including genetics.
