Professional Aviation College Program - Semester 4 (Optional)

Multi Engine Aeroplane Ground School

This course is the ground school specific to the multi-engine aircraft to be flown during all phases of the multi-engine, multi-engine instrument rating. Candidates will study aircraft systems as well as normal and emergency operations.

Multi Engine Operations and Systems

This course provides the framework for the transition to the multi engine aircraft under normal operating conditions. It introduces concepts and considerations which are distinct to multi-engine flight.

Multi Engine Performance

It is fundamental that candidates are thoroughly familiar with performance considerations required to operate a multi-engine aeroplane. This course points out multi-engine weight and balance control, and examines the charts and tables necessary for determining various performance values related to the safe operation of a multi-engine aeroplane.

Multi Engine Single Engine Operations

Provides a framework for the performance that can be expected following an engine failure. This course also reviews the aerodynamic factors and piloting techniques involved with single engine flight.

Meteorology Practical/Theory Review

It is important for all candidates to have basic understanding of weather theory and to be able to deal with the practical weather conditions associated with IFR flying. This course provides actual examples of aviation weather forecasts, reports and charts, which today's IFR pilot is expected to be able to interpret and analyze.

Flight Planning Computer Problems

Proficiency in the use of manual flight calculation computers is not only a fundamental part of flight training at any stage, but many international airlines still require its pilots to carry a manual flight computer as a part of the required equipment on board an aeroplane.

Instructional Theory/Instructional Technique

The techniques to be used by flight instructors when conducting ground school training, pre-flight, post-flight briefings, and air exercises. The instructional techniques presented suggest actions that can be used to promote student activity. It is through this process of directed activity that students learn the skills and knowledge required to become good and safe pilots.
