Physical, Mathematical, Computer and Life Sciences › Physical Sciences
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.
Licensed commercial pilots seeking to upgrade their skills for advanced operations, including those preparing for type ratings or instructor endorsements.
Valid commercial pilot licence (CPL) with instrument rating and a minimum of 200 hours total flight time.
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.
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.
Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.
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.
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.
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.
| 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% |
