Large Aircraft Flight Operations (Part 2)

Course aim

The aim of this course is to further advance the understanding and appreciation of operating large transport category jet aircraft using a state-of-the-art Boeing 737 or Airbus 320 based simulation platform located in the UniSA flight deck.

Throughout this course, students will be paired up as a crew and develop a comprehensive introduction to the non-normal aircraft operation through hands-on practicals in our flight simulator. The course continues to develop students’ technical and non-technical skills while operating a multi-crew aircraft as a Pilot Flying (PF) and a Pilot Monitoring (PM) in non-normal flight scenarios, gaining important team skills needed to work effectively on a modern-day flight deck.

Course content

• Crew Resource Management
