This course has videos, notes and interactive content. You are strictly prohibited from sharing your login details or access to the Eastrise Aviation online ground school with anyone. Multiple (concurrent) logins are also prohibited. Violations are prosecutable under local and international law.

COURSE PREREQUISITES

There are no prerequisites for this course. You will however realise that discipline and self-leadership are key. This course is also available within the Eastrise Aviation intranet. This enables students to take it within our campus without an internet connection on the local area network. We recommend completing each lesson before commencing the next one.

UNDERLYING ASSUMPTIONS

We assume that by now you already have a valid medical certificate. It is one of the requirements for the issuance of the student pilot licence. The other requirement is passing the Malawi air law exam at the Directorate of Civil Aviation. For the sake of simplicity, we will from now own call the Directorate “the Civil Aviation Authority” (CAA). In some cases we may call the CAA ‘the Malawi CAA’ or simply ‘the DCA.’ Let us know if you need contact details of aviation medical examiners in Malawi and we will be happy to share that information. Not every doctor is authorised to conduct aviation medical tests.

REQUIRED STUDY MATERIALS

• You will need a working internet connection that will enable you watch videos and interactive content
• A notepad and pen for note-taking

KEYS TASK(S) AND EXAMINATIONS

You will have a 50-question timed mock exam at the end of each module in this course. We have decided to introduce you to mock exams early in the course to ensure you get used to aviation exams. This will enable you to build confidence that would be handy during the knowledge tests at the Directorate of Civil Aviation. There are 50-60 timed questions in the actual exams (knowledge tests) at the civil aviation authority. We would also like to encourage you to login our Test Prep site after completing every course to enable you practice on our mock exams. The Eastrise test engine has thousands of questions from our question banks that we believe are helpful. All this is at NO additional costs — just your online ground school subscription is enough.
