Simulator courses are taught in the same semester as the familiarization ground school as a lab and culminate with a check-ride to ensure basic handling objectives are met. These courses have a corresponding lab fee. Students may obtain a total of 6.0 hours of academic credit from ONE aircraft type training (i.e. 727 ground and simulator familiarization or 737 ground and simulator familiarization only). If the student takes AVM 477, he or she may not receive credit for any familiarization or simulator course. AVM 471, Airline Emergency Cabin Training, is separate from this, and may result in an additional three semester hours of credit.
