Commercial Pilot Licence theory 2
Overview
To provide students with the required aviation theoretical knowledge in the areas of Navigation, Operations, Performance & Planning, Flight Rules & Air Law for the Commercial Pilot Licence (Aeroplane), as well as flight under the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), as detailed in the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Part 61 Manual of Standards (MOS).
