Course overview
The aim of this course is to introduce the operations of large transport category jet aircraft using a state-of-the-art Boeing 737 or Airbus 320 based simulation platform located in the AU flight deck. Throughout this course, students will be paired up as a crew and develop a comprehensive introduction to the multi-crew operation in the normal aircraft operation through hands-on practicals in our flight simulator.
The course introduces and develops students’ technical and non-technical skills while operating a multi-crew aircraft as a Pilot Flying (PF) and a Pilot Monitoring (PM) in normal flight scenarios, gaining important foundational team skills needed to work effectively on a modern-day flight deck.
