Pre-requisite Courses and Assumed Knowledge and Capabilities
Assumed Knowledge: All seven Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) Theory Exams.
The seven subjects include: Air Law, Aircraft Systems, Aerodynamics, Human Factors, Meteorology, Navigation and Operations.
Course Description
This course advances your theory knowledge beyond low performance, low altitude operations, to high performance, high altitude operations and is the basis of the knowledge required to pass the Air Transport Pilot Licence Theory exams covering Air Law, Navigation, Meteorology and Human Factors, Flight Planning, Performance & Loading, and Systems.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This course contributes to the following Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs):
