October 2007

OU Aviation updates fleet
with thirteen new Piper aircraft!

Thirteen new Piper Warrior III airplanes were purchased (February 2005) for the OU Aviation Department. The planes replace its almost 30-year-old fleet.

The new single-engine planes feature cutting-edge technology, such as Global Positioning Systems, that students need to learn to use to be competitive in the aviation industry. Two of the planes will utilize the Avidyne Entegra Integrated Flight Deck. These “glass cockpit” configurations feature flight instruments and gauges on two large, television-like screens.
