SAQA US 243339 | NQF 5 | Credits 3 | Duration 1 Day
From $691 per delegate

Description

This course equips pilots with the advanced knowledge and skills required to perform complex aeroplane manoeuvres and procedures safely and efficiently. It focuses on enhancing situational awareness, decision-making, and technical proficiency in non-routine flight operations, ensuring compliance with civil aviation regulations.

Learning Outcomes

  • Demonstrate advanced manoeuvres such as steep turns, stalls, and emergency descents with precision.
  • Apply instrument flight procedures for non-precision and precision approaches in simulated adverse conditions.
  • Analyze flight data and weather information to plan and execute advanced procedures.
  • Evaluate aircraft performance limitations and make decisions to ensure safety during manoeuvres.
  • Implement crew resource management techniques to coordinate effectively during complex operations.
  • Design and execute a flight plan incorporating advanced procedures and contingencies.

Target Audience

Licensed commercial pilots seeking to upgrade their skills for advanced operations, including those preparing for type ratings or instructor endorsements.

Prerequisites

Valid commercial pilot licence (CPL) with instrument rating and a minimum of 200 hours total flight time.

Course Outline

Day 1: Advanced Aeroplane Manoeuvres and Procedures

Objectives:
• Execute advanced aeroplane manoeuvres with precision and safety.
• Apply emergency procedures in simulated abnormal flight conditions.
• Demonstrate competency in instrument flight procedures.
• Integrate crew resource management principles during complex flight operations.

Topics:
• Advanced climbing, descending, and turning manoeuvres.
• Steep turns, stalls, and spin recovery techniques.
• Emergency procedures: engine failure, fire, and system malfunctions.
• Instrument flight rules (IFR) procedures and partial panel flying.
• Crew resource management (CRM) and threat/error management.
• Navigation and approach procedures for non-precision and precision approaches.
• High-performance aircraft handling characteristics.
• Post-flight debrief and performance analysis.

Practicals

4 hours of practicals To be conducted online or on-campus or in-house
Overview

The practicals involve simulator-based training to practice advanced manoeuvres and emergency procedures in a controlled environment. Learners will demonstrate proficiency in handling abnormal situations and instrument flight procedures.

Practical Activities
  • Advanced Manoeuvres and Stall Recovery — The learner performs steep turns, power-on and power-off stalls, and spin recovery in a flight simulator. (1h)
  • Emergency Procedures Simulation — The learner handles simulated engine failures, fires, and system malfunctions during various flight phases. (1h)
  • Instrument Flight and Partial Panel — The learner flies under instrument flight rules (IFR) and manages partial panel conditions with failed instruments. (1h)
  • Crew Resource Management Scenario — The learner acts as pilot-in-command in a multi-crew scenario, managing resources and making decisions under pressure.

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total
Component Out of Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) 100% 30%
Daily Average (multiple choice) 100% 20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) 100% 50%
Final Total 100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.

Certificate

Certificate of Completion

Awarded to delegates who achieve an overall mark of 50% or higher on the Final Total (Practicals 30% + Daily Average 20% + Final Test 50%).

How it works
  • Certificates are auto-generated on the AATICD LMS as soon as the marks pass the 50% threshold.
  • Each certificate is a branded PDF with the delegate's name, the course title, the unit standard ID, NQF level, credits, and the date of issue.
  • You can download or print your certificate from your LMS dashboard at any time after issue — there's no reissue fee and no expiry date.
  • If you scored under 50% you can sit the final test again at the next scheduled session at no extra cost.
Where to find it

Sign in to the LMS, open your dashboard, and your certificates appear under My Certificates. Each entry has a View / Download button and a print option.
