Duration
- One Semester or equivalent
Contact hours
- 8 Hours - off site
On-campus unit delivery combines face-to-face and digital learning.
Prerequisites
AVF80001 Private Pilot Licence Practicum, AVF80002 Commercial Pilot Licence Practicum 1, AVF80013 Commercial Pilot Licence Practicum 2 and CASA IREX Theory Pass.
Aims and objectives
To transition the student into the IFR environment at the higher level of competency required to manage a Multi Engine Aircraft.
At the completion of this unit of study the student should:
Unit Learning Outcome (ULO)
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
1. Apply the appropriate flight planning principles to Multi Engine flight under the Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) considering all legal operational requirements
2. Use radio navigation aids and Global Positioning Systems for en-route navigation
3. Demonstrate proficiency in instrument flying, including well developed instrument scan technique and the ability to fly sector entries, holding patterns and instrument let down procedures
4. Demonstrate Multi Engine day and night circling approaches
5. Demonstrate sound Multi Engine aircraft and engine handling techniques
6. Explain the physiological effects and illusions associated with instrument flying
7. Conduct an IFR flight to the standard required to gain a Multi Engine Rating and Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Command Instrument Rating (Multi-Engine Aeroplane)
