Airline flying has several operational factors specific to 121 operations. Items such as Operational Control, Dispatch Releases, Amendments, and Operations Specifications (Op Specs) are just a few of the terms you will expect to hear in an airline cockpit. Content covered in this course includes:
  • Terminology

Course Completion Review
This felt like an intro to 121 operations more than a full course in 121 operations. I went through it in 1.5 hours. The presenter is good, but could have used more content and examples.

The videos simplify the 121 world well. It was not overly complicated and did not throw in unneeded information.

This course is useful not only to pilots but also to ground operations workers (Ops Agent and Ramp Agent) and to Supervisors (Above the Wing, Below the Wing, and Duty Supervisors at smaller stations)

Course Completion Review
Outstanding video product, although for a course that is completed in less than one hour, it is possibly at a somewhat high price point for the intended audience.  

I'm already a Part 121 pilot but found this to be a great review of the subjects I had to learn the hard way and/or never quite really understood well.  I see room for expansion to add other topics of interest to prospective airline pilots to this course, like what to expect in a typical AQP training footprint, how to employ CRM to abnormal/emergency procedures, etc.
