Module Title: | Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) |
Language of Instruction: | English |
Teaching & Learning Strategies: |
Teaching will be conducted using briefings and practical work.
At the end of each practical section, students will be debriefed as to their progress and will be graded accordingly.
|
Module Aim: |
Migrating to a more complex aircraft as part of their training, students will build upon the Standard Operating Procedures and theory they have already learned and prepare for the CPL Skills test. |
Learning Outcomes |
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to: |
LO1 |
Recovering the aircraft from a stall or an abnormal attitude. |
LO2 |
Make use of ADF equipment to determine a QDM or a QDR and to follow it if and when necessary. |
LO3 |
Make use of the VOR equipment to determine a radial TO/FROM and track the exact radial to return back to his airport or to another more suitable destination. Understand the factors affecting good judgement. |
LO4 |
Display an understanding of the proper procedures for entering and executing basic instrument flight manoeuvres. |
LO5 |
Roll out from turns within ± 10º; altitude ± 100; airspeed ± 10 kts. |
