Air Traffic Control Lab

Green River Aviation houses the only air traffic control lab in the Pacific Northwest. Advanced computer software simulates real-life air traffic so students gain exposure to the air traffic environment in the classroom.

Wind Tunnel

CTI Program

Green River Aviation is one of 36 institutions selected by the FAA for the Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) program.

The CTI program establishes an official partnership between the FAA and select aviation education programs. Green River recommends its students to the FAA for hire as air traffic controllers, granting students an advantage in the extremely competitive hiring process. Successful program completion and selection by the FAA can potentially feed directly into air traffic controller training at the FAA Academy in Oklahoma.

There are additional requirements students must meet beyond acceptance to Green River's Aviation Technology program to participate in the CTI program.
