We start with a discussion of the effects on jet engine performance and aircraft aerodynamics, of cruising at high altitude and high speed. True Air Speed to Mach Number conversions, and other important considerations when flying near the speed of sound are also explained.
Once you fully understand these concepts you are ready to start Flight Planning. This is not only the most interesting, but also the most complex and time consuming section of the CASA syllabus. Step by step you will become familiar with the Boeing 727 Handbook, so by the end of the first week you are confidently planning RPT flights, including calculation of the PNR and ETP for Normal Operations, One Engine Inoperative Flight and Depressurised Cruise.
We also cover Yaw Damper failure, Buffet Boundary considerations and Alternate aerodrome requirements. You will eventually feel confident working through challenging problems. The second week of Flight Planning is devoted to consolidation and revision with CASA style revision tests and Practice CyberExams.
