Name of Project: Aviation Equipment Project Description: Airplanes - This project will update the Southeastern's Aviation Sciences Institute training fleet by adding two (2) new Piper Seminole Nxi airplanes replacing an obsolete 1975 Cessna 310. This requirement is necessitated by our accrediting agency (AABI) and the airlines who hire our graduates. Cost: $1,700,000 Flight Training Simulator - This project will add a new flight training device to Southeastern's Aviation Sciences Institute program. It is a full-scale representation of the Boeing 737-Max aircraft’s flightdeck layout that accurately depicts the standard day to day look and feel of the 737 Max aircraft. The device has a wrap-around visual display system which uses high-definition projection to accurately represent expected crew visual effects. Cost: $275,000 Project Budget: $1,975,000 Location of Project: SOSU Main Campus – Durant, Oklahoma Project Number(s): Congruent with Facilities Master Plan project: 660-0335 Revenue Sources: Revolving & Auxiliary Funds Reimbursement: The Bond Oversight Commission requires that each participating entity’s Governing Board approve their participation in the Oklahoma Development Finance Authority’s 20154 Equipment Master Lease Program and if funds are to be reimbursed by bond proceeds, a reimbursement resolution must be approved. It is anticipated that certain expenses related to the project may be required to be paid by the University prior to the receipt of the bond proceeds. Under Federal Guidelines, a reimbursement allocation is a designated use of bond proceeds to pay an expenditure which was previously paid from sources other than bond proceeds. According to Internal Revenue Code, Section 1.150-2, certain preliminary original expenditures related to capital projects may be reimbursed from bond proceeds if the Board declares the intent to do so in a formal resolution.
