Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 150 hours (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 127.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
ABBW63. Performance and Flight Planning I & Navigation I

Learning outcomes:
Flight Performance II
After successfully completing this module, students will be able to calculate and handle available mass.
They will understand the common basics of mass and balance, and will be able to fill out their load & trim sheets.
 
Flight Planning II
Students will be able to plan long-range flights.
They will be able to plan their route, prepare their operational flight plan, and calculate their fuel requirements.
 
Navigation II
Students will be able to navigate on a given course via the different ground stations and navigation aids on track.
They will also practice and understand the Inertial Navigation System, which will allow for navigation without any ground stations.
