This program is available to international students only. Domestic students are eligible to apply for the Bachelor of Aviation (Pilot).
Aim
This program prepares students for their future as an airline pilot overseas. Students will gain a strong professional background in the aviation industry, its environment, its regulatory structure, and critical skill sets (including safety, human factors, and communication). They will also receive a solid foundation of pilot ground theory, including aerodynamics, aeromedical factors, navigation, air law, and other basic technical knowledge components.
Content & Structure
This degree requires completion of courses totalling 108 units. In first year, students undertake general studies in aviation including an introduction to human factors and safety management systems. Students study two courses Flight Training Theory 1 and 2 which contain the fundamental ground theory required as preparation for CASA Commercial Pilot Licence theory examinations. This material is taught by instructors from the flight training provider. In addition, students who opt for the flight training will take a 9 unit flight course during their second semester, which will allow them to gain approximately 15-20 hours of logged flight with an instructor from the flight training provider.
In second year, students undertake more advanced and theoretical studies in a range of important areas including meteorology, law, human factors and aspects of the flight and performance of large aircraft systems. In addition they study courses in communication and are given an introduction to aviation management. In the final year of the program, students study research and communication methods and undertake an aviation related project. They have further technical studies in aerodynamics, heavy aircraft systems, navigation and risk and safety management. Students are also able to select up to 3 electives throughout the program, from the Aviation Management specialisation and other aviation related electives.
