Future aviation professionals will require a blend of skills to meet the steadily increasing needs of this complex socio-technical industry. In particular, aviation managers will require a wider appreciation of the aviation system than just the specific specialisations in which they are employed. For students undertaking the flight operations major, the first stage of their flying career involves the ab initio introductory phase from first flight through to first solo. The prerequisite knowledge which allows them to operate without an Instructor on board comes from a range of sources, including year 1, Semester 1 courses and from concurrent courses in Semester 2, including flight laboratory theory. Students in the Aviation management major will be encouraged to undertake this course, as an elective to broaden their understanding of the nature of flight operations.

The course uses a blend of practical and theory components, allowing students to translate and apply theory to practical applications whilst undertaking flight training in a B737 or A320 style simulator. The course includes theory and practical aspects of flight preparation involving flight planning, meteorological interpretation, airport operations, air traffic control, pre and post flight briefings and airmanship. In addition, students will be required to record their learning experiences in a reflective diary, which will be assessed as part of the course requirements.

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

1. apply theory on aircraft operations learned previously to a practical situation while undertaking flight training in a B737 or A320 style simulator;
2. demonstrate knowledge of B737 or A320 systems, operating procedures and the use of checklist to a level commensurate with the ab-initio phase;
3. demonstrate knowledge of basic aeronautical skills and information, flight planning and airport operations with an ability to practically apply those requirements while completing prescribed simulator exercises;
4. exercise sound decision making and situational awareness skill-sets in preparation for and during prescribed simulator exercises that include, but are not limited to, the management of fuel and threat and error management processes;
5. manipulate the simulator to a standard which would be close to pre-solo standard by the completion of the course;
6. record their experiences, learnings and critical reflections from the course, in a reflective diary, using effective written communication skills.
