In this Work Integrated Learning (WIL) course students will undertake a sequence of practical flight training exercises under the direct and indirect supervision of a licenced flight instructor, to meet the experience and competency requirements of an Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Recreational Pilots Licence (RPL) holder. Learning will be undertaken with the RMIT Aviation Academy (RAA) in a single engine training aircraft and flight simulator, as well as through pre-flight and post-flight briefings.

Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the systems and procedures that are used to operate a single engine aeroplane in the circuit and training areas. Students will learn to apply Threat and Error Management principles, and safely manage non-normal scenarios, such as spins and forced landings. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be capable of operating an aircraft safely and competently as pilot in command within the restrictions of the RPL.
