Multi Engine Aeroplane Instrument Endorsement Practicum
Overview
To issue the student with a multi-engine aircraft class rating to be used in the Commercial Pilot Licence test. To consolidate the theory taught in AVT20001 and integrate this theory into the practical flying training to obtain an Instrument Rating. To consolidate the procedural aspects of VFR cross country flight.

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 the knowledge and skills to plan and conduct a multi-engine flight under the Instrument Flight Rules from departure aerodrome to a destination aerodrome, or alternative aerodrome. This includes pre-flight planning, compliance with airspace procedures and conducting instrument departure, en-route and arrival procedures using a variety of navigation aids, during normal and abnormal operations
- Demonstrate that they can conduct themselves in a responsible and accountable manner on multi-engine IFR cross country flights
- Apply the theory and practical knowledge gained to attain a Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Instrument Rating in a Multi Engine Aeroplane (MEA)
- Demonstrate that they can conduct themselves in a responsible and accountable manner on IFR cross country flights as a professional pilot conducting passenger or cargo carrying operations
- Demonstrate an ability to manage and maintain operational documentation and the need to maintain professional regulatory compliance and currency
