Code: mk3ppl2r03hx17-en
ECTS Credit Points: 3
Evaluation: mid-semester grade
Year, Semester: 1st year, 2nd semester
Its prerequisite(s): Basics of Aviation I
Further courses are built on it: Yes/No
Number of teaching hours/week (lecture + practice): 0+3
Topics:
The course teaches the basic knowledge of Aviation in order to assist the students to understand the key subsystems and their interrelations. The aim is to prepare the students for conducting the first flight trainings while having the relevant basic information about the environment the pilots are working in.
By conducting Part II of the course the students will be familiarizied with airport and airline environment, training regulations, dispatch procedures, pre-flight planning, training aircraft, and post flight requirements including logbook maintenance and emergency procedures. In the first flight training hours the student will become familiar with the training aircraft, its operating characteristics, flight controls, basic instruments and system, general good operating techniques and safety procedures. At the completion the student shall be able to, with assistance, conduct a pre-flight, use the checklist, perform a run-up check of engine and systems, and know how to use the controls to move the airplane about its respective axis and become familiar with the controls of the aircraft and the effect of them during flight and learn how to taxi for take-off and to the parking area after landing.
By conducting both Part of the course the student will have the basic theoretical and practical knowledge to carry on with the first summer flying where they have the opportunity to make an intense flight programme.

Requirements
A, for a signature:
Participation at practice classes is compulsory. A student must attend the practice classes and may not miss more than three times during the semester. In case a student does so, the subject will not be signed and the student must repeat the course. A student can’t make up any practice with another group. Attendance at practice classes will be recorded by the practice leader. Being late is equivalent with an absence. In case of further absences, a medical certificate needs to be presented. Missed practice classes should be made up for at a later date, to be discussed with the tutor.
B, for grade:
The course ends in mid-semester grade based on the assessment of the instructor.
