Overview
In Aeronautical Flight Practice 1 you will receive basic general handling flight training, in the training area and circuit area of the training aerodrome. The flight training will be delivered by an approved external flight training provider. This unit will require you to synthesise the theory you have learnt in earlier studies with flight practice while engaging in 30 hours of aeronautical experience in a small general aviation aeroplane. You will practice flight manoeuvres which will consolidate your basic solo circuit and solo area flight skills. This will enable you to fly as Pilot-in-Command of an aircraft in both the circuit area and the training area of the training aerodrome. You will analyse and reflect on your flight training in order to develop your ability to identify areas of improvement. You will receive all of the aeronautical experience to be able to apply for your Recreational Pilot Licence (RPL).

Important note: Students enrolled in a subsequent unit who failed their pre-requisite unit, should drop the subsequent unit before the census date or within 10 working days of Fail grade notification. Students who do not drop the unit in this timeframe cannot later drop the unit without academic and financial liability. See details in the Assessment Policy and Procedure (Higher Education Coursework).

1 Practical Assessment
Your flight training provider will assess your technical aircraft operational skills on an ongoing basis throughout the unit.
Submission is through ongoing practical demonstration with your flight training provider.
Your flight training provider will supply this mark to CQU.
No Assessment Criteria
No submission method provided.
- Fly an aeroplane solo in the circuit and training areas of the training aerodrome
- Perform all flight manoeuvres to Recreational Pilot Licence standard
- Communicate effectively with aviation staff.
2 Reflective Practice Assignment
In this assignment, you will provide short-answer responses to questions prompts that will require you to:
Critically reflect on your skills development, including identifying your strengths and weaknesses throughout the flight training process.
Apply your theory knowledge of the skills you developed in this unit to critically analyze flight scenarios.
See Moodle page
You will be assessed on the quality of your reflections and the accuracy of your analysis of the given scenarios. This content is assessed as satisfactory or unsatisfactory (Pass/Fail).
- Synthesise aviation theory and flight practice
As a CQUniversity student you are expected to act honestly in all aspects of your academic work.
Any assessable work undertaken or submitted for review or assessment must be your own work. Assessable work is any type of work you do to meet the assessment requirements in the unit, including draft work submitted for review and feedback and final work to be assessed.
When you use the ideas, words or data of others in your assessment, you must thoroughly and clearly acknowledge the source of this information by using the correct referencing style for your unit. Using others’ work without proper acknowledgement may be considered a form of intellectual dishonesty.
Participating honestly, respectfully, responsibly, and fairly in your university study ensures the CQUniversity qualification you earn will be valued as a true indication of your individual academic achievement and will continue to receive the respect and recognition it deserves.
As a student, you are responsible for reading and following CQUniversity’s policies, including the Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure. This policy sets out CQUniversity’s expectations of you to act with integrity, examples of academic integrity breaches to avoid, the processes used to address alleged breaches of academic integrity, and potential penalties.
What is a breach of academic integrity?
A breach of academic integrity includes but is not limited to plagiarism, self-plagiarism, collusion, cheating, contract cheating, and academic misconduct. The Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure defines what these terms mean and gives examples.
Why is academic integrity important?
A breach of academic integrity may result in one or more penalties, including suspension or even expulsion from the University. It can also have negative implications for student visas and future enrolment at CQUniversity or elsewhere. Students who engage in contract cheating also risk being blackmailed by contract cheating services.
Where can I get assistance?
For academic advice and guidance, the Academic Learning Centre (ALC) can support you in becoming confident in completing assessments with integrity and of high standard.
