AVAT12005 - Aviation Flight Training

General Information

Unit Synopsis

This course is the practical flying component that teaches students the basics of Recreational Flying through a Recreation Aviation Australia Flight School. Students will fly a small training aircraft and do all necessary actions and procedures to operate it safely. Students will fly approximately 20 hours learning to Aviate, Navigate, and Communicate while in a Recreational Aircraft under the supervision of an instructor and RA-AUS flight school. This course intends to give the aviation student an introduction to powered flight and the opportunity to match theory with application. A Pilot Certificate will not be awarded from this course although the 20 hours can be used towards the RA-AUS Pilot Certificate.

Attendance Requirements

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).

Assessment Overview

Recommended Student Time Commitment

Each 12-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 25 hours of study per week, making a total of 300 hours for the unit.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Practical Assessment 100%

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback
Ron Bishop is, without a doubt, the best aspect of this course (followed closely by the actual course itself). When I needed additional support, guidance and assistance, Ron was very easy to contact, even outside of business hours. This is actually a big deal for a distance student, when it's quite easy to feel somewhat "separated" from the uni. Ron should be commended for his excellent communication with students.
Recommendation
Keep up the good work and keep improving.

I give this course an easy 10/10, both for what it provides to students of aviation and also for the support provided by Ron.

However, my initial difficulties were quickly resolved and I have to thank Ron Bishop for his advice and guidance, in this regard. Within a week, I was able to obtain the necessary paperwork and communication I required, to ensure my enrolment at a suitable flying school, and this is due to Ron's excellent assistance.
Recommendation
Keep up the communication processes and improve the method how students are informed.
