Keith Bagot shows the group some equipment that gets stored in one of the compartments on the HPRV
Lunchtime briefings included Technical Center’s Role in Aviation and what career opportunities the Technical Center has to offer.
After lunch the group went to the Air Traffic Control Modernization Labs. At the Standard Terminal Automation Replacement System (STARS) Lab, they were able to observe from the “mock” tower and also play the role of air traffic controller at the radar displays.
The students’ day was rounded up by visits to the Enhanced Traffic Management System (ETMS) display, the weather labs, and the Automated Dependant Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) lab. where students were able to try the avionics equipment.
We hope that what they gained at the Technical Center has not only taken them “beyond the classroom” but has also whetted their appetites in that “The more they see, the more they will be capable of seeing.”
