Flight Operations and Operational Control
Sequence the pre-flight through post-flight operational control workflow and assign a responsible party to each step
Analyze dispatch, flight release, and in-flight re-release decision points for a domestic and an international scenario
Explain fuel, alternate, and weather-minima planning rules and apply them to three worked flight scenarios
Construct a table of operational control deviations (mel, deferrals, waivers) and the correct notification path for each
Your checkpoint

Aircraft Airworthiness and Maintenance Control
Map airworthiness requirements to maintenance control responsibilities and list the accountable role for each
Explain the MEL approval, use, and repair-category system and apply it to five hypothetical defects
Outline a continuing airworthiness program including inspections, AD compliance, and component tracking
Distinguish airworthiness directives, service bulletins, and manufacturer recommendations by legal force
Your checkpoint
A five-defect MEL decision worksheet with correct repair categories and dispatch conditions
Crew Training, Qualification, and Flight/Duty Time Limits & Dangerous Goods and Security
Calculate flight and duty time limits for five crew schedules and flag every exceedance with the governing rule

Apply CRM concepts such as briefing, assertiveness, and workload management to a simulated crew conflict
Decode METAR, TAF, and significant weather charts and translate three reports into plain-language operational decisions
Plan a flight considering icing, thunderstorm, and wind-shear risk and justify the go/no-go recommendation
Your checkpoint
Three decoded weather reports with written go/no-go decisions and justifications
Legislation and Regulations (RBAC 135, RBAC 91, and related ANAC norms) & Flight Operations and Operational Control & Aircraft Airworthiness and Maintenance Control & Crew Training, Qualification, and Flight/Duty Time Limits & Dangerous Goods and Security & Safety Management System (SMS) & Operational Safety and Emergency Procedures & Human Factors and Crew Resource Management & Meteorology and Flight Planning
Complete two full-length timed mock exams and record domain-level scores for each
Re-study every domain scoring below 75 percent and rewrite the missed concepts from memory
Consolidate all error logs into a single prioritized review sheet of no more than 60 items
Rehearse explanations of the ten highest-risk concepts aloud to confirm retention
Your checkpoint
Two scored mock exams with a consolidated 60-item review sheet and a domain score chart
Milestones
