This course reinforces the content a commercial airplane pilot should know about aerodynamics, weight and balance, and systems, propulsion, and aircraft performance calculations. Students are introduced to more complex aerodynamics and systems related to airline transport aircraft and high-altitude operations. The emphasis is on how this knowledge can be applied for safe and efficient aircraft operations.

This course explores concepts of Crew Resource Management (CRM) and teamwork in the context of automated aircraft systems. Students develop crew coordination and communication skills in both single and multi-crew cockpit operations. Students also explore the opportunities and ethical challenges associated with automation and discuss the design challenges of the human-machine interface.
