A financial fund for simulation training and program support
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 24, 2024 – The Rudy R. Miller Instrument Safety Currency Program (ISCP) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, College of Aviation, Prescott Campus, was created and funded by Mr. Miller in 2023, with students receiving simulator time starting in Spring 2024. The ISCP was created to build a curriculum that was compliant with federal regulations for instrument currency. Embry-Riddle’s training experts completed that curriculum which was then reviewed and validated by Embry-Riddle’s Chief Instructor, Ryan Albrecht. Once the process was completed and approved, the curriculum was uploaded into the flight systems for logging and tracking of activity.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, in coordination with the Prescott’s College of Aviation’s Flight Department and Flight Director, Parker Northrup, oversees the administration of the ISCP fund. This program supports flight students in their junior year flight course to maintain the skills they learned in their instrument rating course where focus is spent on learning commercial performance maneuvers and often allows instrument skills to degrade. The ISCP provides simulator time to update the instrument currency as required by Federal Aviation Regulations.

Parker Northrup, Chair, Flight Department, College of Aviation, Prescott Campus, said “Mr. Rudy Miller’s engagement and generosity are such a valuable addition to what we strive to do with our students. ISCP allows us to selectively reinforce the safety culture that depends on maintaining those skills critical to safe instrument flying
Rudy R. Miller commented, “I would like to thank Parker Northrup and Steve Bobinsky, executive director of philanthropy, for their time plus all their remarkable team members’ assistance in supporting this outstanding program for qualified students. I have really enjoyed working on this project over the past year and plan to stay involved.
“The future is bright regarding all the numerous new projects, expansions, and improvements that Embry-Riddle, Prescott Campus, is executing, from my perspective. I am currently involved in a total of five Embry-Riddle projects with respect to my personal time involvement and various funding capabilities.”
