Middle Georgia State University’s air traffic management program is the first in the state to earn a significant recognition from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) - participation in the Enhanced Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative. By becoming an Enhanced AT-CTI school, the University can offer graduates a quicker, more direct pathway into a field vital to aviation safety.
“This is fantastic news for our current students and others interested in exploring air traffic management as a career,” said Angela Taylor, tower chief for Middle Georgia State’s (MGA’s) School of Aviation, which is based on the University’s Eastman Campus. “Being an ‘enhanced’ member means MGA can offer a specialized curriculum aligned with FAA standards, giving students a more direct path into FAA employment. The program enhances classroom learning with FAA-aligned instruction and can lead to job placement opportunities with the FAA after graduation.”
