Metro State has an extensive aviation-related facility known as the "Seventh Street Building" (due to its location on Seventh
Street). This facility contains the "World Indoor Airport," an extensive array of flight simulators designed to train students in single-, mulit- and turboprop-engine aircraft flight. An ex-United
Airlines DC-10 non-moving simulator is also employed. A project is underway to
integrate air traffic control services and training into
flight simulation training.In addition, the Metro State Flight Team competes nationally in various flying competitions with other universities and their
aviation-related programs. The Metro State Flight Team traditionally does exceedingly well against competitors, despite being
handicapped by the fact that Metro State, unlike other college aviation programs, do not possess their own fleet of aircraft and
must rent aircraft from various local flying clubs.Current majors offered at Metro State's aviation and aerospace department include professional pilot studies and aviation
airport management studies.
