Choose the right approach for your This three-day course is designed to show pilots all the aspects of the ATPL/IATRA license. The curriculum is complete and provides a solid foundation on regulations, advanced aircraft systems, meteorology and Air Carrier procedures. It is not only intended to help students prepare for the ATPL SAMRA and SARON exams, but provide pilots with the knowledge framework air carrier's expect of today's ATPL/IATRA pilot. We regularly canvass the air carriers to ensure our material is on the mark. This course is also recommended as a refresher to pilots wishing to upgrade their skills. Course content

Retaking a course The retake policy set by AeroCourse is that if a student writes the exam within three months of taking a course and fails the exam, then they may retake the course for no charge. If they write the exam after the three-month period and fail or do not write the exam then to retake the course is half price, plus the workbook if necessary. If a student wishes to retake the course within the three-month time frame, space permitting, there is a nominal charge to do so. To qualify for the retake policy for a failed exam a student must retake our course within 1 year. The half-price retake policy is limited to 5 years after taking the original course. ATPL workbook update DASH 8 performance chart In the 4th edition of the ATPL workbook, the DASH 8 ATOG chart that affects computing the answers to questions 30 and 31 was inadvertently inserted as an older version. The new version of that chart is available here on the Web site. To set the record straight, this is an actual Dash 8 take off performance chart. It was compiled by using the seven performance charts from the Dash 8 100 performance manual and obstacles/topography for Castlegar, B.C. This table has been used in line operations by Canadian Regional Airlines for many years and it is the type of operational chart that is or has been used by virtually every airline in the world for all transport category aircraft. To understand how to work thru this chart or one’s similar to it, you have to have a good understanding of take off performance including the runway environment and the climb segments. We teach how to work thru the questions after an hour and half presentation on the material. Questions 28 and 29 are simple and straightforward but questions 30 and 31 are quite difficult and require a good working knowledge of large aircraft performance. As a hint for Q30, you have to look at both runway and airborne factors of the chart. For Q31, you have to look at the wind and altimeter corrections. Click here to download the chart as a PDF.
