These devices will continue to enhance K-State Polytechnic’s pilot training by providing realistic, airline-tested training for students. The Bombardier CRJ700 type devices feature high-fidelity aircraft-specific flight deck that mirrors the fitting and functions of the actual aircraft helping to introduce airline operations earlier to students.

“We can’t wait to get these devices on campus and available to our students,” said Neal Bloomquist, teaching assistant professor of aviation at K-State Polytechnic. “Our students will benefit from courses that include realistic training with technology that mirrors actual aircraft.”
