Prerequisites

AVT10002 Commercial Pilot Licence Theory 1 and AVT20001 Commercial Pilot Licence Theory 2

Aims and objectives

To provide students with the required aviation theoretical knowledge in the areas of Aerodynamics & Aircraft Systems and Human Factors for the Air Transport Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) as detailed in the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Part 61 Manual of Standards (MOS).

Unit Learning Outcomes (ULOs):

Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:

1. Explain the aerodynamic, engineering and human factors that affects flying operations at the Air Transport Pilot Level.
2. Describe the operational limitations of both aircraft and human beings at the Air Transport Pilot Level.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the unit content sufficient to pass the CASA Air Transport Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) Theory Examinations for Aerodynamics & Aircraft Systems and Human Factors.

Minimum Requirements to Pass this Unit:

As the minimum requirement to pass the unit (and achieve all Unit Learning Outcomes to a minimum standard), a student must:

• Pass all assessments

General skills outcomes

During this unit students will receive feedback on the following key generic skills:

• Problem solving skills
• Analysis skills
• Communication skills
• Ability to tackle unfamiliar problems, and
• Ability to work independently.

Content

This unit of study satisfies the theoretical knowledge requirements specified in the CASA Part 61 MOS for two of the seven subjects required for the award of an Air Transport Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) by CASA. It consists of the following areas of aviation theoretical knowledge:

• Aerodynamics & Aircraft Systems; and
• Human Factors (including Threat & Error Management)
