Extended Range Operations in MNPS Airspace Training

Learning Outcomes

• Apply MNPS airspace navigation performance requirements to flight planning and operational procedures.
• Analyze the impact of extended range operations on aircraft systems, fuel management, and crew resource management.
• Evaluate contingency scenarios such as engine failure, depressurization, or navigation degradation and implement appropriate procedures.
• Demonstrate compliance with regulatory frameworks including ICAO Annex 2, PANS-OPS, and relevant CAA regulations.
• Implement risk assessment techniques to mitigate hazards associated with extended range operations in MNPS airspace.
• Design alternate airport selection strategies and diversion planning for extended range flights.

Target Audience

This course is designed for commercial airline pilots, flight operations officers, and aviation safety professionals involved in planning or conducting extended range operations over oceanic or remote areas requiring MNPS approval.

Prerequisites

Valid commercial pilot license (CPL) or air transport pilot license (ATPL) with instrument rating, or equivalent qualification for flight operations personnel.

Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Learners will apply theoretical knowledge through simulated flight planning, fuel management exercises, and emergency scenario drills. These practicals reinforce decision-making and procedural skills critical for EROPS operations.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: EROPS Flight Planning Exercise — Learners use flight planning software to create a complete EROPS flight plan including fuel calculations, alternate selection, and navigation requirements. (4h)
• Practical 2: Critical Scenario Simulation — In a simulator or tabletop exercise, learners respond to an engine failure at the critical point, making diversion decisions and managing fuel. (4h)
• Practical 3: Navigation and Communication Setup — Learners configure and test navigation equipment (e.g., FMS, RNP) and communication systems (HF, SATCOM) for MNPS airspace operations. (4h)
• Practical 4: EROPS Audit Preparation — Learners conduct an internal audit of a mock EROPS operation using checklists and identify non-compliances. (4h)

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

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.
