Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions are integral to this course, allowing learners to apply pre- and post-flight procedures in simulated and real-world environments. Hands-on practice with aircraft inspections, documentation, and communication reinforces theoretical knowledge and builds competency.

Practical Activities

• Aircraft Walk-Around and Cockpit Inspection — Learners perform a complete external and internal pre-flight inspection on a training aircraft, using checklists and documenting discrepancies. (8h)
• Pre-Flight Planning and Briefing Simulation — Using real weather and NOTAM data, learners plan a flight, prepare a flight plan, and lead a crew briefing with emergency procedures. (8h)
• Engine Start, Taxi, and Shutdown Drills — Learners practice engine start sequences, taxi procedures, and post-flight shutdown on a training aircraft, including abnormal scenarios. (8h)
• Post-Flight Administration and Reporting — Learners complete post-flight documentation including defect reports, flight time records, and incident reports in a simulated operations environment. (8h)

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.
