Imagine what would happen if things didnt work
in an Airport?

• 27 Mar 2008 11.8b Heathrow Terminal 5 opens
• 28 Mar 2008 Baggage Lost, flights delayed,
  CHAOS!
• The terminal looks nice, but it would be good if
  it worked
• I am a frequent traveler and this is the worst
  experience ever..

What does Civil Aviation involve?

• Personnel Licensing regulating the basic
  training and issuance of licenses and
  certificates.
• Flight Operations carrying out safety oversight
  of commercial operators.
• Airworthiness issuing certificates of
  registration and certificates of airworthiness to
  civil aircraft, and overseeing the safety of
  maintenance organizations.
• Aerodromes designing and constructing aerodrome
  facilities.
• Air Traffic Services managing the traffic in a
  country's airspace

Why we introduced the DCA?

• The growing aerospace business is expected to
  generate great employment opportunities,
  projected to be thousands annually.
• To help manage the daily operations of the three
  terminals (very soon four) at Changi Airport and
  meet the increasing demands for competent staff,
  there is a growing need for people trained in the
  various aspects of civil aviation.
• To help meet the current shortage of trained
  technical and frontline personnel in airliners
  and civil aviation authorities.

ICAO-International Civil Aviation Organization

• The International Civil Aviation Organization, a
  UN Specialized Agency, is the global forum for
  civil aviation.
• ICAO works to achieve its vision of safe, secure
  and sustainable development of civil aviation
  through cooperation amongst its member States.
• To implement this vision, the Organization has
  established the following Strategic Objectives
  for the period 2005-2010
• Safety - Enhance global civil aviation safety
• Security - Enhance global civil aviation security
  
• Environmental Protection - Minimize the adverse
  effect of global civil aviation on the
  environment
• Efficiency - Enhance the efficiency of aviation
  operations
• Continuity - Maintain the continuity of aviation
  operations
• Rule of Law - Strengthen law governing
  international civil aviation

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
20

• Students are expected to attend all regular
  lessons and take all UTs for their enrolled
  modules. There is an allowance of the best 13 out
  of 15 Daily Grades considered in the computation
  of the Module Grade, and this allowance caters
  for illness and normal medical leave. There is no
  need to submit routine Medical Certificates for
  consideration, as the allowance has already been
  made.

21

• UTs are a means of formal assessment in RP, and
  all students are expected to attend all UTs
  without fail. Students who are absent from any UT
  will be deemed to have failed (i.e., given an X
  grade and zero score) in that UT. No allowance
  can be made for routine Medical Certificates, as
  students will have missed the opportunity to take
  their UT, and it is not possible to allow
  re-takes of UTs. Students should therefore take
  care that they are in good health in order to
  prevent their absence from UTs.

• Students are responsible for the submission of
  the necessary document(s) to their respective
  Diploma's Programme Chair as early as possible.
• The Programme Chair will then submit the
  documents to the LOA Panel for approval. Once the
  LOA Panel approves the LOA, Office of the
  Registrar (ORG) will inform the student through
  his/her RP email account. Students are to check
  their RP email account for the status of their
  LOA application and their eligibility to take the
  Supplementary UT (if the approved LOA falls on
  the students UT day).
