5. Synthesis of the aforementioned topic for the midterms and finals period; a term paper on issues and
problems that relates to the following topics.- Lico, Bruce Kelly A. and Olipas, Richard E. / February 20,
2014
*Note: Use current and relevant charts during presentations, e.g. aeronautical maps and charts,
Aeronautical weather reports, Weight and balance trim sheets, aircraft performance charts; Much
better if presenters were able to use programs (software) on actual computation, determination and
simulations of data. For the term paper, benchmark with above topics and kindly refer to the first part of
the syllabus I gave you for the format.
* February 18, 2014- PRESENTATION OF THE FINAL DRAFT OF THE TERM PAPER.
* February 27, 2014- FINAL PRESENTATION OF THE TERM PAPER; PRESENTATION ALSO OF THE BOOK OF
COMPILATION OF REPORTS FOR MIDTERMS AND FINALS.
* March 4, 2013- FACILITY TOUR ON CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY OF THE PHILIPPINES.
* March 6, 2013- SUBMISSION OF THE FACILITY VISIT REPORT AT CAAP; FINALS EXAMINATIONS.
