Aims and objectives
After successfully completing this unit you will be able to:
1. Apply the engineering and human factors that impact on flying operations at the ATPL level
2. Describe the operational limits of both aircraft and human beings at the ATPL level.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the unit material sufficient to pass the CASA Air Transport Pilot Licence theory examinations for Aerodynamic and Aircraft Systems, and Human Performance and Limitations
2. Describe the operational limits of both aircraft and human beings at the ATPL level.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of the unit material sufficient to pass the CASA Air Transport Pilot Licence theory examinations for Aerodynamic and Aircraft Systems, and Human Performance and Limitations
Assessment
- Examination 60%.
- Continuous assessment tests covering the following (40% overall)
o Aerodynamics and Aircraft Systems
o Human Performance and Limitations
o Navigation.
CASA ATPL Examinations may be undertaken by the student in addition to the above examinations. Where the student’s aggregate mark for the CASA examinations exceeds that of the continuous assessment component, the CASA mark will be used for that component.
Generic skills outcomes
You will be provided with feedback on your progress in attaining the following generic skills:
- Analysis skills,
- Problem solving skills,
- Communications skills,
- Ability to tackle unfamiliar problems, and
- Ability to work independently
Content
This unit of study provides the student with an understanding of the following areas of aviation knowledge to the level required for the award of an ATPL by CASA.
- Aerodynamics and Aircraft Systems
- Human Performance and Limitations
The unit content follows the requirements as specified in the CASA ATPL Syllabus (aeroplanes and helicopters) as amended.
