AVAT13027 - Advanced Flight Theory 2

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Advanced Flight Theory 2 provides you with the advanced aviation knowledge aligned with Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Airline Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) curriculum (Part 61 Schedule 3). You will learn about advanced concepts of weather and air motion and how it affects the planning of flights and controlling an aircraft. You will study flight planning including designing flight paths and operations to suit a range of environments and conditions. You will learn about aircraft performance and loading procedures, including calculating aircraft weight and balance. The unit content is organised into various study modules corresponding to CASA Part 61 Schedule 3 exams. During the term, you are encouraged to take the CASA examinations soon after completing the relevant modules.

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. Online Test 25%
2. Online Test 25%
3. Online Test 25%
4. Portfolio 25%

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%).
