Aims and objectives
To consolidate the procedural aspects of cross country flight and instruct the student in visual night flying. The student will also receive instruction on night visual departure, en-route and approach procedures. Additionally, the student will undertake aerobatics training designed to provide a sound foundation for upset flight recovery. A significant portion of command flight time will be accrued as part of this unit.
Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)
Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:
1. Demonstrate proficiency in planning and executing day flights under the VFR flight rules or night flights under the NVFR considering all legal operational requirements
