Modification History
Release 1. Revised unit.
This unit replaces and is equivalent to AVIF3021A Manage human factors in remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) operations.
Unit Descriptor
This unit involves the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to manage human factors in a remote pilot aircraft mission including monitoring one’s own performance, recognising errors and managing corrective actions, and managing own physiological and psychological conditions.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Application of the Unit
Work must be carried out in compliance with the relevant licence and RPAS rating requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA); relevant airspace control requirements; Visual Metrological Conditions (VMC); regulations, safety codes, protocols and procedures relevant when managing human factors in RPAS operations.
Use for Defence Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders and Instructions
Operations are conducted across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian Aviation Industry.
Work is performed under limited supervision.

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the required performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 |
Manage personal performance |
1.1 |
Pre- and post-mission personal condition is managed to ensure safe outcome of operation |
1.2 |
Own performance is monitored against workplace standards, procedures and requirements |
||
1.3 |
Degradation of personal condition and/or limitations are recognised and appropriate strategies implemented to ensure the safe outcome of the mission |
||
2 |
Recognise threats and errors, and manage preventative and corrective action |
2.1 |
Relevant environmental or operational threats that are likely to affect the safety of the mission are identified |
2.2 |
Countermeasures to manage threats are developed and implemented |
||
2.3 |
Mission progress is monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome |
||
2.4 |
Corrective actions are employed as required to ensure a safe outcome |
||
2.5 |
Checklists and standard operating procedures are applied to prevent RPA handling, procedural or communication errors; and committed errors are identified before safety is affected or RPA enters an undesired operational state |
||
2.6 |
RPAS mission environment and crew members are monitored and information is collected and analysed to identify potential or actual errors |
||
2.7 |
Countermeasures are implemented to prevent errors, or action is taken in the time available to correct errors before the RPA enters an undesired operational state |
