Unit Descriptor
Unit Descriptor |
This unit provides the knowledge and an inventory of skills required to provide air traffic control in aerodrome traffic zones and aerodrome manoeuvring areas. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the Unit |
This unit is applied to provide aerodrome control services in control towers equipped with RADAR, those using general aviation aerodrome procedures and control towers in regional locations using procedural control practices. Persons exercising competence in this unit will need to fulfil the licensing and regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority pertaining to air traffic controllers. Use for ADF Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders and Instructions and applicable CASA compliance. Work is performed under various levels of supervision dependent on workplace context, and might be in a team environment. Work involves applying separation standards. It assesses the controller s ability to apply the full range of separation standards or provide traffic advice in situations involving medium to high levels of traffic volume and complexity and in adverse weather conditions. This unit of competency is packaged at Diploma level. |

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Manage aerodrome traffic zone and aerodrome manoeuvring area |
1.1 Traffic priorities are applied according to standard operating procedure 1.2 Service priorities are applied according to that which is most safety critical 1.3 Control practices and procedures are adjusted with changing aerodrome traffic zone and aerodrome environment factors 1.4 Surveillance of aerodrome traffic zone and aerodrome is maintained using systematic scan technique at a rate determined by environment factors 1.5 General and sector weather observations are conducted 1.6 Documented instructions and agreements applicable to area of jurisdiction are applied 1.7 Unauthorised use of aerodrome traffic zone and aerodrome and operational deviation from control instruction and procedure are recognised and rectified 1.8 Taxiways are used to facilitate maximum use of runways 1.9 Runway mode selected is suitable and efficient for traffic flow 1.10 Runways are operated dependently 1.11 Runways are operated independently 1.12 Control services are provided according to airspace classification and status 1.13 Airspaces are administered according to user activity 1.14 Aircraft are authorised to use aerodrome traffic zone and aerodrome 1.15 Vehicles and pedestrians are authorised to use aerodrome manoeuvring areas |
2 Assure separation |
2.1 Aircraft conflicts are recognised and resolved 2.2 Aircraft separation is provided 2.3 Jurisdiction for maintaining aircraft separation is agreed and assigned 2.4 Alternative aircraft separation is provided when required 2.5 Aircraft separation is adjusted if required when systems are degraded or airways facilities are reduced 2.6 Aircraft separation is most appropriate taking into account safety, expedition and the method of control and surveillance 2.7 Compromised aircraft separation is recognised and recovered and administrative actions are taken in accordance with workplace procedure |
