Module:  AERO3334 Managing the Air Traffic Environment  

This course introduces the major players and their roles that comprise the global air transport system. Through air traffic control (ATC) and related services, Air traffic Management (ATM) provides the connecting infrastructure that allows aircraft to fly safely between airports. Through managing the separation of aircraft and air traffic flows, ATM provides services that are essential for safe and efficient air transport.

This course will also explore the National Airways System more broadly, discussing the effects of weather, inflight emergencies, aeronautical publications, airspace management across Air Navigation Service providers and the cultural aspects of safety in such an environment. Whether you aspire to be a pilot or an aviation manager, an understanding of how the system works and its interdependence with airlines and airports is vital.

This course includes a Work Integrated Learning experience in which knowledge and skills will be applied and assessed in a real or simulated workplace context and where feedback from industry and/ or community is integral to experience.

 Classes are mostly conducted during weekday evening from 7.00pm to 10.00pm.
