Aims and objectives
To develop the skills and attributes of a professional pilot conducting passenger or cargo carrying operations.
1. Demonstrate that they can safely operate a multi-engine aircraft within defined limitations to commercial and COAA standard operating procedures.
2. Conduct aircraft pre-flight determining complete aircraft serviceability, fuel requirements and loading procedures and performance requirements in a multi-engine aircraft3. Demonstrate that they can manage aircraft systems, passengers, company and air traffic control requirements during normal and abnormal operations.
4. Demonstrate that they can conduct themselves in a responsible and accountable manner on cross country flights.
5. Demonstrate the knowledge and skills to plan and conduct a commercial flight from departure aerodrome to a destination aerodrome, or alternative aerodrome, navigating the aircraft under the applicable flight rules. This includes pre-flight planning, compliance with airspace procedures and departure and arrival procedures, and navigation under normal and abnormal conditions.
6. Demonstrate that they can conduct themselves in a responsible and accountable manner on VFR cross country flights as a professional pilot conducting passenger or cargo carrying operations.

1. Demonstrate both broad and specialised technical knowledge and skills within the field of professional pilot practice.
3. Critically apply theoretical and practical skills as a professional pilot and to be able to analyse, evaluate and review to provide solutions to non ambiguous, ambiguous and novel complex flight scenarios.
4. Apply knowledge and skills beyond the minimum specified in the Civil Aviation Safety Authority Part 61 Manual of Standards to achieve the licencing qualification of Commercial Pilot (Aeroplane).
