CONTENTS

BECOME PART OF A NEW GENERATION OF PILOTSPrepare for an industry that is growing by more than 5.5% per annum and which will require more than 500,000 new pilots in the next 20 years. Learn how to fly in Massey’s state-of-the-art training fleet, while gaining a qualification that sets you up for the aviation industry of the future.

WHAT IS IT LIKE?Massey’s Bachelor of Aviation (Air Transport Pilot) will not just train you to be a competent pilot, but to become a ‘flight deck manager’ with a university education, and an in-depth understanding of the aviation industry. Why are we different? We lead the field in flight training in New Zealand. > The only professional aviation degree in New Zealand. The Bachelor

of Aviation (BAv) degree integrates the Professional Pilot licensing requirements of the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand, and graduates are issued with a Commercial Pilot’s Licence and a Multi-Engine Instrument Rating.

> Equivalence Approval from the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority. This is a unique agreement between Massey University and the NZCAA. BAv students’ examination results are accepted in lieu of CAA examinations, and flight examiners from the School are approved for conducting flight tests for issue of licences.

> ISO 9001-2008 certification – a worldwide standard that characterises great management practices.

> State-of-the-art Diamond DA 40 single-engine and DA 42 twin-engine aircraft. Students train on a full fleet of technologically advanced aircraft fitted with Garmin 1000 cockpit displays incorporating digital moving map displays, terrain awareness warning systems, and traffic avoidance systems.

> Real-world problem solving. Scenario-based flight training methodology builds the ‘soft skills’ required to produce professional aviators (decision making, communication, judgement, conflict resolution, workload management, threat and error, management, ‘single pilot resource management’ (SRM).

> Electronic Flight Bags. Massey is the only New Zealand flight training institution that uses Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs). These are now standard for almost every major international air carrier. Previously pilots needed to have comprehensive documentation for each flight, carried in the physical EFB. This has now mostly moved to a digital format. As a new Bachelor of Aviation (ATP) student you will be issued with an Apple iPad to be used as your EFB for the duration of your flight training practicum period.

> Required Navigation Performance (RNP) The School of Aviation has become the first flight-training organisation in New Zealand to receive approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand to carry out Required Navigation Performance (RNP) operations on its 12 Diamond DA 40 single-engine aircraft. RNP is part of the New Southern Sky project being led by the CAA to transition the aerial navigation system from ground-based navigation aids to satellite navigation. It is a crucial element of New Zealand’s aviation future.

> Air New Zealand ‘Preferred Flight Training Organisation’. Massey University BAv Graduates can (if selected by Air NZ) enrol in the Air New Zealand ‘Airline Induction Course’. Successful completion of the course will place you in a ‘pool’ of preferred pilots for induction by Air New Zealand.

> Industry mentor. All new students are assigned an experienced aviation industry mentor to help guide them through the course and to give them the benefit of their industry experience and knowledge.

n AMBER BRIERLY Bachelor of Aviation Management Graduated in 2014, Franchising and Licensing Development at Signature Flight Support, Orlando, Florida, United States I have always been fascinated by airplanes and wanted to study aviation since I was young. The Bachelor of Aviation Management gave me an insight into the aviation industry including hands-on experience within the industry. I did an internship at Auckland International Airport working on airside operations while doing a research course on performance measurement. For my final semester I studied at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. I then did a research-based internship with Embry-Riddle’s School of Air Traffic Management. I work in franchising and licensing development at Signature Flight Support, a fixed-based operator based in Orlando, Florida. It provides flight support services such as fuelling, hanger space, ground handling and airport maintenance at more than 100 airports worldwide. My role is to assist in expanding Signature’s business portfolio. This includes the Signature Select fixed-base operator licensing program and the Signature Flight Support Hotel Booking Program. I’m now working towards my Master of Aviation (Professional Practice) via distance learning, and expect to graduate in 2018.

n SAM DAWSON MAv I started my Master of Aviation study in 2015, after completing a Bachelor of Aviation (Air Transport Pilot) and Graduate Diploma in Aviation (Flight Instruction). I chose Massey’s Master of Aviation degree as I wanted to further my knowledge in the wider aviation industry, particularly in airport and airline management. The degree’s structure enabled me to study these topics in depth. With the wide variety of interests and specialties of the lecturers and supervisors, the degree gave me the opportunity to conduct research into a range of aviation topics. I found the lecturers to be especially supportive throughout my study. They always made themselves available to address my questions and guide me in the right direction. I am currently a Graduate Flight Instructor at the School of Aviation where I can apply what I’ve learnt from the Master of Aviation degree in my instruction to students.

STUDY A DEGREE

THE ULTIMATE ACHIEVEMENT IN AVIATION AT TERTIARY LEVEL IS THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY – AVIATION.The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a prestigious research qualification which is essential for a career in any research institution or university.The School of Aviation is active in research in several areas, including flight training devices, transference of learning, risk taking, accident legislation, call-sign confusion, crew resource management, and the effect of sleep deprivation. The School’s research outcomes contribute to enhancing safety and efficiency, and improving the body of aviation knowledge in this dynamic industry.The School also has an active programme of postgraduate research, with a number of students currently enrolled. Postgraduate students are encouraged to disseminate their work by publishing it in relevant peer-reviewed journals or by presenting it at conferences.University scholarships may also be available for students wishing to undertake research at postgraduate level.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTSThe doctoral programme is open to academically able students who have achieved First Class Honours or Distinction or Second Class Honours (Division I) in a Master’s or Bachelor’s (Honours) programme. A PhD is completed by thesis and is expected to take three years of full-time study or up to six years of part-time study.

APPLYING TO ENROL IN THE DOCTORAL PROGRAMMEYour initial research proposal needs to include sufficient information for your prospective supervisor to be able to assess your current knowledge around your research topic. It will also be used by the School of Aviation to gauge whether there is a current staff member within the School who is able to supervise your research.Students are enrolled provisionally in the first year of PhD study, during which time your research proposal is developed. You are then confirmed into the doctoral degree.

ENROLLING IN THE DOCTORAL PROGRAMMEYou cannot enrol directly into a doctoral programme – you need to apply to the Doctoral Research Committee (DRC) for admission. If you’re a New Zealand citizen or hold New Zealand permanent residency, you can download a DRC 2 Application Form for Provisional Registration as a PhD candidate, which can be found on the Graduate Research School (GRS) website: grs.massey.ac.nz

n TAHLIA FISHER Massey University Doctoral candidate Tahlia is one of an increasing number of women flying the flag for women in aviation. Dr Fisher, (Massey 30 cohort), Massey Scholar and mother of two, graduated from the Massey University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Aviation majoring in flight crew development, completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Aviation with distinction and worked at the Massey University Milson Flight Systems Centre training young pilots. During this time she became increasingly interested in aviation safety and assisted the Transport Air Investigation Commission with accident investigations. Over the years, she has been involved in investigations into the use of incorrect take-off performance data, a heavy landing in Brisbane, an inadvertent slide deployment, a flight departing with insufficient fuel, and a high speed rejected take-off in Narita. Tahlia joined Air New Zealand in 2007 where she is now Senior Safety Specialist, (Operational Integrity and Standards) based at Auckland International Airport. She combined her career with PhD research at Massey University into effective communication between pilots and maintenance engineers and the way this affects airline operations. In support of her contribution to aviation safety in New Zealand, Tahlia was presented with the inaugural ‘Ian Diamond Award’ by the Royal Aeronautical Society, in November 2011. This included a $3000 subsidy towards her doctoral study.
