Module Recommendations

This is prior learning (or a practical skill) that is strongly recommended before enrolment in this module. You may enrol in this module if you have not acquired the recommended learning but you will have considerable difficulty in passing (i.e. achieving the learning outcomes of) the module. While the prior learning is expressed as named MTU module(s) it also allows for learning (in another module or modules) which is equivalent to the learning specified in the named module(s).
Incompatible Modules
These are modules which have learning outcomes that are too similar to the learning outcomes of this module. You may not earn additional credit for the same learning and therefore you may not enrol in this module if you have successfully completed any modules in the incompatible list.

Assessment Description
Flight Test - IAA Standard. The module is assessed on Pass/Fail basis. Flight Skill Test · A FAIL is more than one section is failed at the first attempt or if any item is failed at the second attempt of a Series Flight Skill Test · A PASS all sections of the test are passed Flight Skill Test · A PARTIAL PASS when only one section of the test has been failed. The test involves skills based elements (focused on more challenging circumstances) and oral assessment in parallel to convey critical thinking.
No End of Module Formal Examination
