Unit Descriptor
Unit Descriptor |
This unit involves the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to manage human factors in aircraft flight including monitoring own performance, recognising errors and managing corrective action, and managing own physiological and psychological condition. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the Unit |
Work must be carried out in compliance with the relevant licence and aircraft rating requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and/or ADF; airspace control requirements and Day Visual Flight Rules (Day VFR); Instrument Flight Rules (IFR); and aircraft control principles, regulations, safety codes, protocols and procedures relevant when managing human factors in aircraft flight. Work involves the management of human factors before and during an aircraft flight as part of commercial and military aircraft activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry. Use for ADF Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders and Instructions and applicable CASA compliance. Work is performed under limited supervision. This unit is nominally packaged at Certificate IV. |

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
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Manage personal performance |
1.1 Pre- and post-flight personal condition is managed to ensure safe outcome of flight 1.2 Own performance in flight is monitored against workplace standards, procedures and requirements 1.3 Degradation of personal condition and/or limitations are recognised and appropriate strategies are implemented to ensure the safe outcome of a flight |
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 flight are identified 2.2 Countermeasures to manage threats are developed and implemented 2.3 Flight progress is monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome, or actions are modified when a safe outcome is not assured 2.4 Checklists and standard operating procedures are applied to prevent aircraft handling, procedural or communication errors; and committed errors are identified before safety is affected or aircraft enters an undesired aircraft state 2.5 Aircraft systems, flight environment and crewmembers are monitored, and information is collected and analysed to identify potential or actual errors 2.6 Countermeasures are implemented to prevent errors, or action is taken in the time available to correct errors before the aircraft enters an undesired aircraft state |
