“Having both Air Traffic Management programs at Embry-Riddle’s Daytona Beach and Prescott campuses approved for this critical FAA initiative to strengthen the air traffic controller pipeline demonstrates the high level of training and education Embry-Riddle provides. We are proud to see our highly skilled, professional graduates immediately join the controller ranks for training to keep air traffic moving safely and efficiently.” Source: P. Barry Butler, PhD, President of Embry-Riddle, reflecting on the FAA announcement that the Prescott, Arizona campus of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is the 9th school and the first in the state to be authorized as an Enhanced Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) program, and is now able to provide the same curriculum and advanced technology training offered at the FAA Air Traffic Controller Academy in Oklahoma City.
