AVT 101L - Private Pilot Simulator
Credits: 1
1 Skills Lab Hours
Co-requisites: AVT 101
Description
AVT-101L complements the foundational knowledge provided in AVT 101 by offering practical, hands-on experience in a simulated flight environment. This lab employs advanced flight simulators to provide students with realistic scenarios encompassing various aspects of private piloting, from basic airplane operations to handling in-flight emergencies. The lab focuses on enriching students’ skill sets in aerodynamics, meteorological adaptation and navigational practices and cultivating proficiency in Crew and Single-Pilot Resource Management (CRM/SRM). This optional lab aims to prepare students thoroughly for the FAA Private Pilot Knowledge Exam and build foundational skills for future flight training and certifications.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Operate a simulated aircraft, applying knowledge of airplane systems and performance.
- Use Visual and Instrument Flight Rules, applying effective strategies in a simulated environment.
- Apply aerodynamic principles in simulated flight situations.
- Evaluate meteorological scenarios and in-flight emergencies using FAA-approved procedures in the simulator.
- Integrate CRM/SRM principles to maintain safety and efficiency in simulated flight operations.
- Analyze risk factors and pilot fitness to make informed decisions in simulated flight scenarios.
- Organize comprehensive plans for cross-country flights in the simulator, while incorporating essential private piloting techniques.
