Exam recurrence:
The information regarding exam recurrence is found within the exam policy of the study programme (ASPO).
Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

ABBG47 (P410-0004) Aviation Business (Basic), Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2015 , semester 3, mandatory course
ABBG47 (P410-0004) Aviation Business (Basic), Bachelor, ASPO 01.10.2018 , semester 4, mandatory course
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).
120 class hours (= 90 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 300 hours (equivalent to 10 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 210 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):

Learning outcomes:
General Aircraft Knowledge II (broader term):
General aircraft knowledge is subdivided into the subjects:
-        Airframe and systems, electrics, powerplant, emergency equipment
-        Instrumentation
After successfully completing this part of the course, students will have comprehensive knowledge about airframe designs and materials used, loads applied to the structure of aeroplane certified in the transport category CS-25. They will  be familiar with the properties of large airplane constructions including airplane systems and propulsion systems and the instrumentation.  This knowledge will enable them to to recognize coherences between different technical systems of a modern passenger airplane.
Principles of Flight II
After successfully completing this part of the course, students will have acquired knowledge about relationship between the controllability and stability of an airplane. They will have advanced their knowledge about aerodynamic forces.  Students will be familiar with the behavior of a multi-engine airplane in asymmetrical thrust conditions. High speed aerodynamics, the effect of airframe contamination and structural limitations will round off this subject.
