AVIA 3301 Simulation Applications & ATM

AVIA3301 (6UOC) is instantiated in two parts: AVIA3300 Air Traffic Management (3UOC) and AVIA3600 Simulations Applications (3UOC). Each part will be delivered over 6 weeks, by a different lecturer and will be examined separately.

AVIA 3300

Aims

This course intends to provide students of aviation an understanding of the general principles and operation of Air Traffic Management (ATM) as a major enabling activity to commercial, private and military aviation. While encompassing Air Traffic Control (ATC), the discipline of ATM is broader and more comprehensive in that it includes the strategic management of airspace and the traffic flow of aircraft in addition to the tactical separation of aircraft and the prevention of collisions.

Learning Outcomes

To develop a basic understanding of the Air Traffic Control System
To understand the fundamentals of Air Traffic Management

Lecturer

Mr. Vivian Dore

Assessment

To Be Advised.

Recommended Texts

Nolan, M (2004) Fundamentals of Air Traffic Control, 4th edn. Belmont, CA : Thomson--Brooks/Cole, c2004.

This text is available from the University Bookshop and University Library.

AVIA 3600

Aims

To help students to develop an understanding of the application of simulation techniques in aviation industry including simulator applications and numerical simulation applications.

Learning Outcomes

At the conclusion of this subject, students will have an enhanced awareness of the fundamentals and basic concepts of simulators and synthetic devices to aviation training and development and be familiar with the scope and limitation of the resources and potentials available to them as line pilots or airline managers in the implementation of simulator applications.
