Biography:

John H. Mott is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Aviation Technology at Purdue University.  A summa cum laude graduate of the University of Alabama with Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Electrical Engineering, he also possesses an FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate with Instrument and Multiengine ratings, an FAA Flight Instructor Certificate with Airplane Single-and Multiengine and Instrument ratings, and an FAA Ground Instructor Certificate with Advanced and Instrument ratings.  He holds type ratings in the Hawker Beech King Air 300, Hawker HS-125, and Canadair Challenger 600.  He has worked as a flight instructor, a charter pilot, chief pilot, and director of training for a FAR 135 operator, an airline pilot flying the SA-226TC Metroliner, and a corporate pilot in many different models of aircraft.

Professor Mott serves as Senior Editor of the Journal of Aviation Technology & Engineering, and as the Associate Head of the Purdue University Department of Aviation Technology.  His research interests are in the areas of aviation management, statistical modeling of flight and airport operations, and distance learning, and he has published in both aviation and engineering journals. Prior to joining Purdue, he was Engineering Manager for a firm in Birmingham, Alabama, and also operated an electronics design and manufacturing business for many years. He is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the University Aviation Association (UAA), and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).
