Jet Transportation Systems and Operations
Prerequisite(s): AV 402
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
This course will provide a basic understanding of the normal operating procedures and checklists used in a jet transport aircraft. It introduces the systems of the Boeing 747 which are required to perform basic flight manoeuvres.

Advanced Aerodynamics and Operating Procedures
Prerequisite(s): AV 405
Corequisite(s): None
Pre- or corequisite(s): None
This course provides details of incompressible flow airfoil theory and wing theory, description of stall speed, drag, and basic performance criteria, stability, trim and control, and configuration changes in high and low speed conditions. Compressible flow theory is introduced as well as transonic and supersonic flight.

Advanced Jet Transport Systems and Performance
Prerequisite(s): AV 402
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): None.
This course provides students with an appreciation for modern transport aircraft systems and performance. This includes: understanding how electronic control and navigation systems work, their normal operation, as well as their limitations; becoming aware of the role, the operation, and the limitations of automation in aircraft; and increasing the student’s understanding of large aircraft systems and advancing the ability to determine performance information of large aircraft.

Simulation - Jet Transport Operations I
Prerequisite(s): AV 412, AV 422
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): AV 403, AV 405
In this course, the student learns the procedures used for heavy jet, multi-crew operations including normal, abnormal, and emergency procedures. In addition, students will gain proficiency and experience in the various manoeuvers used in the operation of a heavy jet aircraft, and learn the aerodynamic implications of the various phases of flight. Students will carry out the multi-crew functions to accomplish the preflight preparations, takeoff, climb, arrival, approach, and flight completion phases in a Boeing 747 jet transport flight training device. The course includes 10 sessions in each of the Captain, First Officer, and Second Officer positions.

Simulation - Jet Transport Operations II
Prerequisite(s): AV 414
Corequisite(s): None.
Pre- or corequisite(s): AV 404
This is the concluding course in jet transport operations. In this course the function and operation of systems will be experienced and students will learn how to use long-range navigation equipment and other automation and safety equipment onboard jet transport aircraft. The student will be expected, as a crew member, to conduct line oriented simulations, keeping in mind airline operating considerations. This will be accomplished in 10 sessions in each position – Captain, First Officer, and Second Officer – in the B747 flight training device.
