Year, Semester: 2nd year, 2nd semester
Its prerequisite(s): -
Further courses are built on it: Yes/No
Number of teaching hours/week (lecture + practice): 1+2
Topics:
The course teaches the basic knowledge of Operational Procedures to demonstrate a level that grants a succesfull authority exam according to FCL.515 ATPL - Training course and theoretical knowledge examinations.
The course covers the following main areas and give thorough information on:
Operator certification and supervision, operational procedure general requirements, special operational procedures and hazards (general aspects), all weather operations requirements, instrument and equipment, comms and navigation equipment, aeroplane maintenance, transoceanic and polar flight, fire and smoke, pressurisation failure, windshear and microburst, wake turbulence, emergency and precautionary landings, transport of dangerous goods by air, contaminated runways, north atlantic mnps airspace operation
By conducting the course the student will have the knowledge recommended by the EU legislation (AMC1 FCL.310; FCL.515 (b); FCL.615 (b) and will understand the legal bacnground and basis of aviation, learn the structure and sources of the rules.

Requirements
A, for a signature:
Attendance at lectures is recommended, but not compulsory. 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 with an official examination as set out in the regulations of 1178/2011/EU, Part-FCL.
