A substantive introduction to the Basic Regulation and Air Operations framework: apply operation classification, operator responsibilities, crew qualification, fatigue, planning, equipment, specific approvals and oversight to practical decisions. Covers ARO, ORO, CAT, SPA, NCC, NCO, SPO and piloted VCA/IAM with their scope boundaries. 20 sections include 60 scenario decisions with immediate explanatory feedback. The 16 classroom-equivalent hours are a planning estimate, not measured seat time or a regulatory minimum. Completion does not confer a licence, approval or organisational authorisation. Practice is optional and ungraded; no written submission or upload is required. The final assessment draws 12 questions from a 24-question bank, with 75% (9 correct answers) required to pass.

This online aviation training course is designed for controlled seat assignment, recorded trainee progress, final assessment, and certificate issue after passing.

Course revision 2, reviewed 2026-09-10. References support the training scope; operational use requires current applicable rules and the organisation’s accepted procedures.

## Common questions

### Is this a pilot type-rating course?

No. It is regulatory familiarisation for operator, crew, dispatch, CAMO and oversight roles.

### How long is this course?

The published classroom-equivalent estimate is 16 hours. Self-paced completion time varies. The figure is a planning estimate, not measured attendance.

### Do I get a certificate?

Yes. After every module is complete, a 12-question examination must be passed at 75%. A named certificate is then issued automatically and can be checked on the public certificate checker.
