AVIA 250 Advanced CRM/PDM and Airmanship

This course builds on the knowledge gained in AVIA 150. Emphasis is placed on management styles, behavior, leadership, problem-solving and decision making especially as they apply in two-pilot operations. Pilot communications skills are emphasized and developed through exercises. Command responsibilities as they apply in a typical airline or corporate flight operation are reviewed.

Aviation physiology will include a field trip to experience hypoxia and rapid decompression in a hyperbaric chamber, as well as vision loss in a night vision lab.

Classroom training exercises involving practical experience in group problem-solving under the pressure of time constraints will be conducted. Role playing is required and presentation of solutions to the class. (Small groups will analyze video tape documentation, ATC transcripts, cockpit voice recorder transcripts and flight data recorder tracings of selected aircraft accidents and incidents, after which presentations will be made listing the human factors causes and practical recommendations that would prevent a recurrence.)

This course is delivered via: On Campus
