The revised course will comprising three main areas:
- Planning Concepts;
- Computerised Flight Planning; and,
- In-flight replanning.
You will be provided with a course textbook (Waypoints PilotBooks Volume 13), a workbook, a flight planning data booklet, and with teaching sessions on each of the course components, including plenty of practice exercises and review questions. The programme also includes a practice examination based on the ASPEQ exams, which is designed to give you a gauge of your knowledge as at the end of the course and to act as a learning focus tool.
Please note that it is your responsibility to organise your own sitting of the ASPEQ exam. We recommend you schedule the exam for at least a few days after the end of the course, to give you time to absorb and review the material and to do some practice of the practical aspects of the course.
