  The Aviation General course draws from a range of disciplines to develop in students a broad variety of skills, processes and understandings related to aspects of the aviation industry. The Aviation General course covers the same five content areas as the Aviation ATAR course—aerodynamics, performance and operation, human factors, aviation skills, and aviation development—but in more general contexts. Students investigate the importance of aviation to our society and learn skills and knowledge required to make informed decisions on issues relating to aviation. This practical Aviation course provides the opportunity for students to prepare for post-school options of employment and further training.
