BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Thomas Carney is Professor of Aviation Technology and
Head of the Department of Aviation Technology at Purdue
University, where he has taught since 1972. Dr. Carney has
over 39 years of experience as a pilot, with more than 10,270
flight hours, and holds the ATP certificate with multiengine,
Beechjet, and Mitsubishi Diamond type ratings, in addition
to the Certified Flight Instructor certificate with airplane
single- and multiengine, and instrument airplane ratings.
He currently flies as pilot-in-command and instructor pilot
on Purdue's Raytheon Beechjet (400A) and Beechcraft
Super King Air (B200) aircraft. Dr. Carney's primary teaching
areas in aviation include advanced aviation meteorology,
high performance turbine operations, high altitude flight,
and corporate flight department management. Dr. Carney was
the 1996 recipient of the James G. Dwyer award for outstanding
undergraduate teaching in the School of Technology, and
is a member of the inaugural group of 225 men and women
included in the Purdue University Book of Great Teachers.
In 2002, he was awarded the William A. Wheatley award by
the University Aviation Association, given annually to a
professional educator of more than 10 years' experience,
who has made outstanding contributions to aerospace education.
Dr. Carney is also the recipient of the 2003 Outstanding
Alumnus Award from the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department
at Purdue, and the 2004 Outstanding Member of the Year
Award from the Council on Aviation Accreditation. In
2006, he received the President’s Award from the University
Aviation Association, for long-term leadership and service
to that organization.
In addition to his flight background, Dr. Carney holds M.S.
and Ph.D. degrees in Atmospheric Science, and maintains
a courtesy faculty appointment in the Department of Earth
and Atmospheric Sciences. His primary areas of interest
in atmospheric science include aviation meteorology and
the impact of weather on aviation operations, synoptic-
scale dynamics and energetics, and the interactions between
synoptic- and mesoscale motion fields. He is the author,
or co-author, of more than 97 publications and presentations,
and is a member of a number of national organizations and
committees relating to collegiate flight education and accreditation,
aviation meteorology, and corporate flight operations.
Dr. Carney served for 9 years
as the senior editor of the Collegiate Aviation
Review, and is a member of the editorial boards of
the Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education and
Research and the Journal of Air Transportation.
He serves on the Board of Directors of the Aviation
Accreditation Board International (AABI), as AABI vice
president, and is the chairman of the Certified Aviation
Manager Governing Board (CAMGB). Dr. Carney is an
active consultant in corporate flight operations and
expert witness in litigation involving flight operations
and aviation meteorology. In 2004, he was designated a
Certified Aviation Manager by the CAMGB.
