WELCOME

IntroductionThe AVI50215 Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane) is a nationally accredited course that is ideal for people who want to work as a pilot within the aviation industry. It will prepare you for employment opportunities with domestic or international airlines, as well as charter companies.

This training partnership between TAFE NSW and Sydney Flight College (SFC) has been collaboratively designed to deliver you an exceptional learning experience with strong employment outcomes.

Through TAFE NSW, eligible candidates will have access to a VET Student Loan, helping to assist them with the costs of training.

This course focuses on both the theoretical and practical aspects of training:

� THEORY You will have face to face classes at TAFE NSW Ultimo, where you will have access to the extensive student services and support that TAFE NSW offers. Upon successfully completing your course, TAFE NSW will present you with your Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane) testamur, as well as your course transcript.

� PRACTICAL The course’s practical, flying component will take place at the Bankstown Aerodrome, where you will learn in Sydney Flight College’s modern, purpose-built training facility. Training with SFC will give you access to their growing fleet of aircraft, which includes:

– single engine aircraft like the Piper Warrior, Archer, C206, C172, C182, and a Cirrus SR22T

– multi engine aircraft including the Beechcraft Duchess, DA62, and Beechcraft Baron

– a synthetic Redbird flight trainer.

Through our training partnership:

� your application will be carefully screened by TAFE NSW and SFC, ensuring that you have the aptitude and skills required to succeed in the course

� you will be enrolled as a TAFE NSW student, giving you access to a range of support services including libraries and student counsellors

� you will study using the TAFE NSW learning model, assessment tools, and helpful resources

� you will be assessed by TAFE NSW teachers (for theory elements) and SFC assessors (for practical activities).


CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

The sky is the limit Designed for people looking to build their skills and knowledge to become a successful commercial pilot, the course will provide you with the essential skills you need for a range of jobs within the sector, including:

� commercial pilot

� flying instructor

� aerial application pilot

� airline pilot

� simulator instructor.

Pathways to take your career to new heightsAfter successful completion of the Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane) course, you can progress your aviation career by completing:

1. AVI50415 Diploma of Aviation (Instrument Rating)

This rating is often required for employment with a charter company, and is a prerequisite for a job as an airline pilot. It allows you to pilot an aircraft by sole reference to your flight instruments, which means you can fly at night, and in cloud. This qualification usually takes a further 4 to 6 months to complete.

2. AVI50516 Diploma of Aviation (Flight Instructor)

This rating expands your job opportunities within flying schools. For some, becoming an instructor is the end goal, and they go on to many years of teaching other students how to fly. For others, being an instructor is a great way to gain the flying hours you need to progress to other roles as a pilot. This qualification usually takes a further 4 to 6 months to complete.

COURSE DETAILS

Course units Throughout your 12 months of training in the Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence - Aeroplane) course, you will cover 29 units of competency.

The 29 units will equip you with the skills and knowledge to perform a range of tasks, including:

� applying technical and non-technical aviation skills and knowledge

� flight crew duties

� passenger transport operations

� charter and cargo operations

� aircraft operation

� visual and instrumental flight

� take-off and landing procedures

� navigation skills

� meteorology and weather conditions planning

� radio operation.

To view the qualification and unit information as it is represented in the training package, visit training.gov.au and search using the AVI50215 qualification code.

Qualification outcomes By successfully completing this course, you will have earned two qualifications:

� Diploma of Aviation (Commercial Pilot Licence – Aeroplane)

� CASA Commercial Pilot Licence – this is the minimum requirement to fly commercially in Australia

You will gain the skills, experience and confidence to fill the role of flight crew personnel performing normal and emergency commercial pilot duties in support of commercial flight operations. Flight crew duties include applying technical and non-technical aviation skills and knowledge to a wide range of air transport operations, including passenger, charter and cargo operations.

Working at this level you will apply your skills and knowledge while demonstrating autonomy, judgement, and defined responsibility in known or changing contexts, and within broad but established parameters.

This qualification forms some of the requirements for certification as a commercial pilot by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) as directed by Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 61 Flight Crew Licensing.


Industry requirements The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR), regulates the Part 61 Flight Crew Licensing standards, which outlines requirements for certification as a commercial pilot.

These requirements are integrated in the Diploma of Aviation qualification, with your final diploma competency determination occurring simultaneously with the granting of your Commercial Pilot Licence.

In accordance with the CASA CASR Part 61 Flight Crew Licensing requirements, your practical training will primarily take place in single engine aeroplanes. Then, once you have achieved the licence, the privileges include the authorisation to co-pilot specific aircraft in operation as the pilot in command.

To maintain your licence, you will then need to undertake a flight review with an approved officer, every 24 months.
