Culminates in flight tests for the Commercial Pilot Licence and multi-engine Instrument Rating. A review of operational considerations for winter flying and mountain flying is included, and the course also covers morse code. This course reviews the basic meteorology covered in AVIA 120 and continues with theory to upgrade the student's knowledge to the ATPL and Instrument Rating level. The practice of communications topics important to the commercial pilot, including oral presentations, technical writing, job applications and interviews. This course builds on the knowledge gained in AVIA 150.
Emphasis is placed on management styles, behaviour, leadership, problem solving and decision making.
CRM seminars provide practical experience in group problem solving under the pressure of time constraints. Role playing is required during the presentation of solutions to the entire class. Small groups will analyze video tape documentation, ATC transcripts, cockpit voice recorder transcripts and flight data recorder tracings of selected aircraft accidents and incidents, after which they will present their findings, list the human factor related causes and make practical recommendations that would prevent a recurrence. This course expands on the basic systems training received in AVIA 140. More complex aircraft systems including back-up and redundant systems are studied, as well as jet engine theory and operation.
