AVT 211 - Flight Theory/Commercial
Credits: 4
4 Lecture Hours
Prerequisites: AVT 111 AVT 115
Co-requisites: AVT 205
Description
This lab component of the AVT-211 course is meticulously designed to complement the theoretical aspects of commercial piloting with practical, hands-on experience in a simulated environment. Utilizing advanced flight simulators, AVT-211L offers students the opportunity to apply their knowledge of FAA regulations, complex aircraft operations and Crew and Single-Pilot Resource Management (CRM/SRM) in realistic flying scenarios. This course focuses on developing a deeper understanding of the human factors affecting flight, enhancing decision-making skills and preparing students for the practical challenges of commercial flying. The lab aims to solidify the students’ readiness for the FAA Commercial Pilot Knowledge Exam and subsequent real-world flight situations.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Utilize theoretical understanding of commercial regulations and complex aircraft operations in simulated flight scenarios.
- Demonstrate the ability to plan, execute and manage simulated flights in complex aircraft, focusing on high-altitude operations and commercial maneuvers.
- Apply CRM/SRM skills effectively in a simulated environment.
- Respond to simulated scenarios involving stress, illness, fatigue and other human factors, reinforcing the importance of a pilot’s fitness for flight.
- Develop Aeronautical Decision-Making (ADM) skills, with an emphasis on risk management, through various simulated flight conditions.
- Perform accurate weight and balance calculations for takeoff and landing in a simulated setting.
- Critically assess their performance in the simulator to identify areas for improvement and strategies for operational efficiency.
