This 1,700-square-foot lab is equipped to accommodate functions for both airframe and power-plant electrical systems found on both general aviation and air transport aircraft. This includes training devices for wiring practices and electrical trouble-shooting.

The Flight Ops Center boasts a state-of-the-art dispatch desk, real-time weather monitoring equipment, computer stations for flight planning, private oral rooms, and many other modern aviation conveniences designed to give our students everything they need for their pre-flight planning and preparation.

Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach flight operations run seven days a week, 50 weeks a year (we only shut down for Fall/Spring semester breaks). The Flight Operations Center is open from 6 a.m. to midnight so our flight students have access to the airplane they need when they need it.
