Large Aircraft Flight Operations

Course aim

The aim of this course is to introduce the operations of large transport category jet aircraft using the UniSA flight deck comprising of state-of-the-art Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 simulators.  Through this course, students will be paired up in a crew and develop a comprehensive introduction to the aircraft operation through hands-on practicals in our flight simulator.

This course also enables students to develop skills in operating in a multi-crew aircraft, thereby ensuring both the pilot-in-command and co-pilot can operate effectively.  The scenarios range from normal procedures to failure management and decision making, whereby students will gain important team skills needed to work effectively on a modern-day flight deck.
