Overview

The AVN1102 General Aviation Knowledge course aims to provide a solid basis for more technical subjects later in the program. It is designed to provide sufficient theoretical knowledge on a wide range of topics such as light aircraft systems, basic aerodynamics, and an introduction to Australian regulatory systems and associated publications while maintaining a relatively low level of complexity.


Course Learning Outcomes

  1. identify and describe light aircraft systems commonly found within general aviation
  2. describe and explain basic subsonic aerodynamics as it relates to flight within our atmosphere
  3. describe and evaluate the impact of common hazardous meteorological phenomena on accidents/incidents
  4. communicate civil aviation rules and regulations applicable to private operations in general aviation and interpret these to real-world scenarios
  5. use navigational charts for initial planning of a private cross-country
  6. explain key concepts relating to aircraft operations, performance, and planning and use knowledge to complete associated technical calculations
