About
The Bachelor of Aviation gives you the opportunity to become a professional pilot or to pursue a role in airline or airport management with a choice of two majors: flight operations, and airline and airport operations.
The Airline and Airport Operations major prepares you for a career as an airline and airport professional by providing the core theoretical foundations of aviation operational management and giving you the opportunity to apply your knowledge in a relevant work environment. In this major, you will study a wide range of topics specifically tailored to the airline and airport operations environment, and develop skills in critical thinking, decision making, problem solving and teamwork. You will also develop an understanding of the relationship between human physiology/psychology and the aviation environment by focusing on the function and limitations of the human body. You will be introduced to the application of safety processes and how they are applied within the aviation industry and to the laws that are relevant to airline and airport operations.
The Flight Operations major prepares you for a career as a professional airline pilot capable of managing a multi-crew environment. In this major, you will study the academic and aeronautical knowledge requirements of the Air Transport Pilot License and Command Instrument Rating. You will build knowledge and skills relating to aerodynamics, navigation, meteorology and flight planning, as well as being introduced to the laws that are relevant to aviation, multi-crew environments and the development and maintenance of a safety management system. If you wish to obtain your Commercial Pilot License and Command Instrument Rating, you will need to complete the Graduate Diploma of Aviation in addition to the Bachelor of Aviation.
After successful completion of the first term of study, in your second term, you will attend an interview to ascertain your preparedness for a career as a pilot. Once you have successfully completed the interview, you will be requested to apply for CQU’s Graduate Diploma of Aviation course.
