Learning outcomes

Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:

  • Demonstrate instrument flying skills, with emphasis on Automation Management
  • Demonstrate the integration and application of air regulations and Standard Operating Procedures
  • Demonstrate an adherence to airline Standard Operating Procedures and application in a dynamic environment
  • Exercise high level judgements in the conduct of commercial airline operations in a dynamic, line oriented flight crew environment
  • Conduct multi-crew communications with clear precise briefings that are appropriate to the activities to be conducted
  • Apply normal and abnormal checklists correctly and at appropriate times
  • Apply the correct flight conduct habits, involving appropriate preparation, route knowledge and ATC compliance applicable to multi crew operations
  • Demonstrate correct crew coordination, including cabin crew briefings and passenger liaison activities
  • Demonstrate the skills necessary to be effective team leaders and crew members, as Pilot Flying (PF) and Pilot Not Flying (PNF)
  • Apply strategies to manage workload, errors and distractions, particularly in high workload, time compressed situations whilst delivering safe operational outcomes
  • Apply diagnostic and decision making processes in a multi-crew environment with emphasis on situational awareness, workload management, and all available resources

Hurdle

As the minimum requirements of assessment to pass a unit and meet all ULOs to a minimum standard, an undergraduate student must have achieved:

1. Complete all  Syllabus lessons to at least the required level of competency2. Complete the total hour requirement of the Practicum3. Complete the final 2 hour Line Oriented Flight Training (LOFT) test. CRM and Flight Conduct are assessed, grading scale is 1-5; a score of 4 or greater constitutes the required standard.

Content

  • 36 hours of simulator training in the Multi Crew environment comprised of 4 general air work multi crew exercises and 5 Line Orientated Flight Training (LOFT) sequences
  • 20 hours of pre-flight and post-flight briefings for the 8 simulator exercises
  • 24 hours of classroom Crew Resource Management (CRM) and Threat and Error Management (TEM) theory
