It includes content on the strategic planning of airlines, the coordination of accident emergency plans of aerodromes, audit techniques and the basics of aerodrome management involving legislation and safe aerodrome works.

It is important to be aware that the licensing, legislative, regulatory and certification requirements that apply to this course can vary between states and territories.
