This 1,700-square-foot lab is equipped to accommodate functions for both airframe and powerplant 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 per year (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.
