This course continues from AVIA 306 and focuses on exercises that apply knowledge of various considerations and procedures for flight in instrument meteorological conditions. Pairs of students will function as two-person flight crews during simulated IFR flights. Scenarios will enable students to recognize, avoid, or manage situations that lead to incidents. Also included is a tour of the Toronto Area Control Centre. The flight portion focuses on acquiring cross-country Pilot-in-Command time to meet the requirements for the Instrument Rating. This course also includes ground school in preparation for students to write the Transport Canada IATRA examination and training in wilderness survival and first aid skills.

Management goes over ATPL content, lab is a continuation of 306 (instrument). Both taught by Spencer- you might hate his full 3 hour lectures, or be intimidated by him at first. Then find out you're actually learning and using class time to practice. By the end, you'll find the exams easy because the man prepped you for them all term long. Always have stories & experiences to share (those somehow reinforces your knowledge), I wish he taught all the ground schools. And man, can't believe this the last one and we're graduating soon.

What is Aviation class like? 2 points, 10 comments
u/Interesting-Bird7889: “Which aviation class? Is the drone course? If so yes you’ll get chance to fly the actual drone and learn some flight planning and radio operation stuff”
u/Velyein05: “I’m thinking about AVIA 100 Intro to Aviation. Which one is the drone course? From AVIA 100 to AVIA 307 they’re all named professional Pilot Program 1-7.”
