Subject Title
Air Carrier Procedure

Subject Description

Students learn the essential knowledge and skills a commercial pilot requires to function effectively in a multi-flight crew commercial operation. It includes an in-depth study of Canadian Air Regulations (CARS) sections 604, 703 and 704, which govern corporate, air taxi and commuter flight operations. Students learn about aircraft operations in extreme conditions: aircraft icing on the ground and in the air; severe cold and other winter conditions; remote operations. Also studied is the importance of documents and procedures for commercial air carriers such as: company operations manuals; minimum equipment lists; approved company
check pilot programs; etc. Professional conduct, duties and responsibilities of commercial pilots, and corporate culture are included in the course in order to prepare students for employment in the industry. Topics such as multi-crew standard operating procedures (SOP), pilot duties, crew resource management concepts will be introduced for multi-crew flight operations. Please note that the students in Line Oriented Flight Training (LOFT), which is conducted in FLY700 and FLY800, will apply these skills.
