Requisites

Pre-requisite: AVN1102

Overview

Aircraft operations refer to the ground and airborne movement of aircraft either in controlled or uncontrolled airspace. Although there are different types of operations that demand varying complexity, fundamentals of planning and operating aircraft involving a variety of technical and non-technical skills with a strong theoretical knowledge and understanding to plan and monitor such operations remain unchanged. This course builds upon the knowledge and skills developed from the course (AVN1102 General Aviation Knowledge) to further develop principles associated with aircraft limitations and weight and balance, performance calculation and pre-flight planning.

In this course, you will further develop your understanding of operations, performance and planning for a light aeroplane commonly found in General Aviation. The course provides theoretical knowledge and an opportunity to expand students' ability to plan a small charter operation. To better understand overall aircraft operations you will also require a knowledge of aerodynamics meteorology general flight planning and aircraft performance that was covered in AVN1102 General Aviation Knowledge. You will continue to investigate, and be able to incorporate, the requirements of discipline and professionalism in this industry.

Course learning outcomes

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

  1. apply pre-flight planning and performance calculations with varying limitations to scenarios;
  2. research and analyse technical, regulatory and environmental aspects of aircraft operation to apply professional judgement;
  3. apply knowledge of key principles to aircraft planning including the fundamentals of weight and balance;
  4. solve common problems, challenges and issues associated with diverse range of aircraft operations to respond as responsible aviation professionals.
