General Aviation InformationGreenwich Mean Time (GMT)All places on the globe have a latitude (their distance North or South of the Equator) and a longitude (their distance East or West of theGreenwich Meridian). As Greenwich, England is zero degrees longitude, time is measured from this point and is defined as GreenwichMean Time (GMT).GMT is used in the aviation industry. It may also be referred to as Zulu Time (ZT) or Universal Time Co-ordinated (UTC). Time east of Greenwich is GMT plus ( ) hours Time west of Greenwich is GMT minus (-) hours11
The 24-Hour ClockThe time format used in aviation is the 24-hour clock, whereby time is recorded by numbers only and not “am” and “pm”. This is alsoreferred to as military time, army time or railway time. Airlines use this in their flight schedules and rosters. The diagram below gives anindication how to use the 24-hour clock.12002400110023001000220009002100109811 40016000500170006001800Examples:Before MiddayAfter Midday(Figures inside the clock face)(Figures in red outside the clock face)1.00 am is 01003.00 pm is 15006.30 am is 06309.45 pm is 214512.00 midday is 120012.15 midnight is 0015Activity 6: 24-Hour ClockChange the below timings to a 24-hour clock format.3.30 am8.00 am11.15 am3.00 pm5.30 pm10.45 pm12
The Phonetic AlphabetThe phonetic alphabet is a set of words used instead of alphabetic letters in radio communication. Each word stands for its initialletter and is used internationally by aircraft, maritime units, amateur radio operators and the military. It is used in two-way radiocommunications to help reduce the affects of noise, distorted audio and radio operator accents.For instance, some letters which can easily be confused are «D» and «B». By using the phonetic alphabet, «Delta» and «Bravo», theseare easily distinguished.It is important that this Phonetic Alphabet is imaYYankeeMMikeZZuluFor example, when the Captain is calling the Air Traffic Control tower to identify the aircraft he will use the number on the tail e.g. A6EAC, and pronounce it as “Alpha Six Echo Alpha Charlie”Activity 6: Phonetic AlphabetHow will you pronounce EK47 DXB using the phonetic alphabet?13
Airport CodesAll airports around the world are identified by a three letter code. These codes are used to identify airports and they are also used intimetables, baggage tags, tickets and Airline and Global Reservation Systems. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) inGeneva is responsible for these codes and they are usually based on the airport nameIn the table below reflects the airport codes of countries within the Emirates network.Countries in Europe and the AmericasCountry NameCity NameAirport NameIATA Airport CodeAustriaViennaVienna Int’lVIEBrazilSao PauloGuarulhos Int’lGRUCanadaTorontoPearson Int’lYYZCyprusLarnacaLarnaca Int’lLCAParisCharles de Gaulle Int’lCDGNiceCote D’Azur Int’lNCEDüsseldorfRhein-Rhur Int’lDUSFrankfurtFrankfurt Main Int’lFRAHamburgHamburg Int’lHAMMunichMunich Int’lMUCFranceGermanyGreeceItalyAthensAtheni Int’lATHRomeFiumicino Int’lFCOMilanMalpensa Int’lMXPVeniceVenice Marco Polo Int’lVCEMaltaVallettaMalta Int’lMLARussiaMoscowDomodedovo Int’lDMEZurichZurich Kloten Int’lZRHGlasgowGlasgowGLASwitzerlandUnited KingdomBirminghamBirmingham Int’lBHXLondonLondon GatwickLGWLondonLondon HeathrowLHRManchesterManchester Int’lMANNewcastleNewcastle Int’lNCLHoustonGeorge Bush Intercont’lIAHUnited StatesLos AngelesLos Angeles Int’lLAXof AmericaNew YorkJohn F.

Learning StylesLearning styles are ways in which each person concentrates, processes, absorbs and retains, new and challenging information.Learning styles fall into three main categories: Visual Auditory KinestheticAt Emirates we take into consideration the preferrred learning styles of the individual. We find this important when encouraging you tolearn. Although most people have a preferred style, we understand that every learner develops through a blend of styles. We deliverlearning through an awareness of a blend of styles, which suits the broad needs of a group. Furthermore this gives you the opportunityto develop alternative learning styles, along with the sense of achievement and a willingness to take on more training situations in yourfuture career.Our group of dedicated and enthusiastic trainers are here to help you develop your knowledge and skills, in order for you to become acabin crew member. You can find further details on learning styles below:1) Visual – information is presented through pictures, videos, books.Learning Strategies As much as possible, translate words and ideas into symbols, pictures and diagrams. Draw symbols and pictures to facilitate recall. Mark the margins of your workbook with key words, symbols, and diagrams to help you remember text. Use highlighter pens of contrasting colours to “colour code” information. When learning mathematical or technical information, make charts to organize the information. Create charts and diagrams to illustrate key concepts. Use the computer to assist in organising material that needs to be memorised.24
2) Auditory – information is presented orally.Learning Strategies Work with a “study buddy” on an ongoing basis to review key information and prepare for exams. Talk out loud to aid recall - read your notes and textbook out loud. Tape record lectures and replay these later Create your own audio tapes by reading notes and textbook information into a tape recorder. When learning mathematical or technical information, “talk your way” through the new information.State the problem in your own words. Reason through solutions to problems by talking out loud to yourself or with a study partner. To learn a sequence of steps, write them out in sentence form and read them out aloud.3) Kinesthetic – you are physically doing a ‘hands on’ activityLearning Strategies As much as possible, translate words and ideas into symbols, pictures Note down key words/draw pictures/make charts to help you remember the information When studying, walk back and forth with notes and read the information out loud. Think of ways to make your learning tangible, i.e. something you can put your hands on. When reviewing new information, copy key points onto a large writing surface. Make use of the computer to reinforce learning - use graphics, tables and spreadsheets to furtherorganise material that must be learned. Listen to lectures while exercising. Make your own tapes containing important course information.Activity 9: Learning Style QuestionnaireTo find out your learning style: complete the questionnaire in the next section. add your score to determine your learning style. bring the completed questionnaire to training on day 1 of Induction.(Bibliography for Learning Style Preference Information was taken from Learning Styles Survey bySuzanne Miller)For further information you can search“Learning Styles” through various websites.25
