Course Description

This course introduces you to the four distinct broad environments which include regulation, operational, economic and international issues. It is primarily focussed on the common carrier system of air transportation, that is, commercial air services offered to the public. The knowledge and skills developed through this course will support courses later in this program in relation to airline operations and airport operations, aircraft maintenance and other courses.

Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development

This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) for:

BP070P6 Bachelor of Applied Science (Aviation) and BP345 Bachelor of Aviation (Pilot Training)

Needs, context and systems

Identify, interpret and analyse stakeholder needs, establish priorities and the goals, constraints and uncertainties of the system (social, cultural, legislative, environmental, business etc.), using systems thinking, while recognising ethical implications of professional practice.

Problem-solving and design

Demonstrating information skills and research methods.

Coordination and communication

Communicate and coordinate proficiently by listening, speaking, reading and writing English for professional practice, working as an effective member or leader of diverse teams, 

BP070P23 Bachelor of Applied Science (Aviation) andBP345P23 Bachelor of Aviation (Pilot Training)

1. Demonstrate understanding of a broad, coherent and in-depth body of knowledge relevant to the current and future global aviation industry

2. Adapt knowledge and skills to analyse and synthesise concepts, information and data in diverse aviation contexts using digital tools and professional skills.

4. Communicate and collaborate inclusively and professionally with diverse stakeholders across aviation and associated  industries

Upon successful completion of the course, you should be able to:

1. Relate regulatory, operational, economic and international factors to the international airline industry environment, identifying factors of key importance to typical stakeholders
2. Demonstrate an understanding of domestic aviation industry environment
3. Analyse the impact of regulatory frameworks, at different levels (internationally and domestically) on various facets of the aviation industry
4. Communicate at a professional level with all facets of the aviation industry in the context of regulatory and legal frameworks

Overview of Learning Activities

You will learn this course pre-recorded through lectures, directed reading, class room discussion, and investigative research. The learning process is reinforced through problem-based learning using case studies.
