The FAA has established 12 Centers of Excellence to pursue research into safety, alternative fuels, airport operations and other aviation topics, and now the agency has announced its next COE will focus on training the next generation of aviation professionals. Teams from the University of Oklahoma and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University will lead the new Air Transportation Center of Excellence for Technical Training and Human Performance. "This world-class, public-private partnership will help us focus on the challenges and opportunities of this cutting-edge field of research," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta. "We expect this team will help us educate and train aviation professionals well into the future."
