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.
