Research

UAA Aviation Technology division is involved in a variety of aviation related research projects.  Areas of study include:

• Navigation systems (Capstone)
• Weather Forecasting (Alaska Experimental Forecast Facility)
• Remote Airfield Lighting System (RALS)
• Aircraft ground movements (Taxiway Centerline Deviation Study)
• Air Traffic Controller "Simulation-In-The-Loop" study (ACTIVE, FAA Runway Safety Office)
• and more.

Some of the research projects employ students admitted into our aviation programs.  This is an excellent opportunity to get experience in the field of aviation.  We periodically advertise such positions among our student body and let our students go through professional hiring procedures.
