Learning outcomes

Students who successfully complete this unit will be able to:

  • Demonstrate that they can safely operate a multi-engine aircraft within defined limitations to commercial and COAA standard operating procedures
  • Conduct aircraft pre-flight determining complete aircraft serviceability, fuel requirements and loading procedures and performance requirements in a multi-engine aircraft
  • Demonstrate that they can manage aircraft systems, passengers, company and air traffic control requirements during normal and abnormal operations
  • Demonstrate that they can conduct themselves in a responsible and accountable manner on cross country flights
  • Demonstrate the knowledge and skills to plan and conduct a commercial flight from departure aerodrome to a destination aerodrome, or alternative aerodrome, navigating the aircraft under the applicable flight rules. This includes pre-flight planning, compliance with airspace procedures and departure and arrival procedures, and navigation under normal and abnormal conditions
  • Demonstrate that they can conduct themselves in a responsible and accountable manner on VFR cross country flights as a professional pilot conducting passenger or cargo carrying operations
  • Apply the theory and practical knowledge gained to attain a Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Commercial Pilot Licence (Aeroplane) in a multi-engine aircraft
  • Demonstrate an ability to manage and maintain operational documentation and the need to maintain professional regulatory compliance and currency
