Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University recently upgraded its air traffic control simulation capabilities to mirror the capabilities at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The FAA has approved the Prescott, Arizona campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) to join the agency’s Enhanced Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI). Under the agreement announced on Monday, graduates of ERAU’s air traffic management program in Prescott can be fast-tracked into ATC towers for on-the-job training.

Enhanced AT-CTI is designed to help the FAA ramp up controller hiring by expanding the training capacity, building on the agency’s program in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Universities participating in the Enhanced AT-CTI program must offer the equivalent curriculum and advanced training technology as found in Oklahoma City.
