3 02 STUDY A DEGREE KEY FACTS AVAILABLE AT MANAWATŪ EQUIVALENT TO 3 YEARS OF FULL-TIME STUDY BACHELOR OF AVIATION BAv BECOME PART OF A NEW GENERATION OF PILOTS Prepare 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) is a university undergraduate qualification intended for career pilots. It 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. Massey owns and operates a fleet of technically advanced Diamond single engine and twin engine aircraft equipped with full digital avionics approved for Performance Based Navigation operations. 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 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.

I spent a few years working in operations at airports and wanted a clearer pathway to management, and to move from day-to-day work to long-term conceptual strategies. Massey is the only provider of the Bachelor of Aviation Management in New Zealand. It has a more approachable vibe than other unis and as the classes I took were smaller, I was able to get a great deal of interaction with the lecturers. This is more conducive to learning and represents more what you would get in the real world with interacting and discussing material, as opposed to being told things and then filling it back in at the exam. In 2015, I was an exchange student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, and had the time of my life. Kiwis are so sought after and respected for our can-do attitude, you don t realise how unique we are until you are immersed in other cultures. Aviation consultants work on airport planning, so designing the terminal and the parts that make up the runway and taxiways. We also have a strong business development focus, which I gravitate more towards, assisting airports to generate revenue and be more sustainable. I love the challenge and variation of my job. Aviation requires immense planning along with the ability to think on your feet. I consider aviation management grads specialist generalists and this broad knowledge is crucial in entering a dynamic and truly worldwide industry. PATHWAYS TO POSTGRADUATE STUDY ENROL IN...
