OBJECTIVES
The main objective of the Professional aviator education is to give the applicants the
knowledge and skills that make the passing of the ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot
Licence) integrated trainings manual and academic licencing of the National
Transport Authority, Aviation Authority possible without any further
education. The aim is to train professionals who are capable of working for aviation
companies as professional pilots, who understand aviation, traffic, air operation and
ground handling assignments and tasks, who can manage valid quality control tasks,
have met requirements of ATP (A) (Airline Transport Pilot, Aircraft) integrated
training. The future graduates understand and excel in the usage of the professional
English language as per the 1178/2011(2011.11.03.) EU ordinate.

The course aims to provide future pilots with the English language proficiency needed
for clear, accurate and problem-free communication without misunderstandings both
in voice-only and face-to-face situations even in the case of unexpected events. To
achieve this the improvement of General English and the sound acquisition of ICAO
phraseology are both required.
Course content:
1. Introduction to air communication (clear communication, asking for
repetition, questions-short answers, time expressions, ICAO)
2. Pre-flight (checks, delays, local conditions)
3. Ground movements (asking for more time, giving a reason,
4. Departure, climbing and cruising
5. Enroute events (explaining changes, unusual events, stating a problem)
6. Contact and approach (descent, saying what you are going to do)
7. Landing (landing hazards)
8. On the ground (getting to the gate)

Lecture, hours/week: 0 Practice, hours/week: 2
Assessment: mid-semester grade
Actual semester: 6.
Compulsory prerequisite: -
Course description:
One of the key element of the aviation system is the infrastructure where all ground
movements and handling activities take place: the airport.
The airport is a very complex sub-system of the aviation, where the crucial part of the
flight procedure happens.
Aerodrome design, operation and maintenance are regulated both by ICAO Annexes
and Docs and EU Regulation (Part-ADR )
The aerodrome operator shall establish and maintain an aerodrome manual which shall
reflect the certification basis and the requirements set out in the regulations. The
aerodrome manual shall contain or refer to all necessary information for the safe use,
operation and maintenance of the aerodrome, its equipment, as well as its obstacle
limitation and protection surfaces and other areas associated with the aerodrome.
The content of the course is based and follows the structure of the aerodrome manual:
Aerodrome management system: qualification and training requirements, emergency
response planning, safety risk management process, organisation, particulars of the
aerodrome site: aerodrome facilities and equipment, types of operations, the physical
characteristics of the aerodrome, particulars of the aerodrome required to be reported
to the aeronautical information service: aerodrome dimensions and related information,
particulars of the operating procedures of the aerodrome, its equipment and safety
measures: apron management, wildlife hazard management, rescue and fire fighting,
low visibility operations, winter and night operation
By conducting the course the student will have the knowledge about the airport system,
which will make the pilot more confident to deal with all the actions that are compulsory
and part of the airport operation.
