Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:
adapting to differences in equipment in accordance with standard operating procedures applying precautions and required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards applying relevant legislation and workplace procedures communicating and negotiating effectively with others completing documentation related to work activities identifying and correctly using flight support equipment, processes and procedures implementing and managing contingency plans for unanticipated and routine airborne situations: aircraft fuel consumption variations aircraft performance calculations and variations effects of air traffic reroutes effects of flight diversion over different terrain unanticipated meteorological conditions (including icing conditions) implementing and managing contingency plans for unanticipated and emergency airborne situations: overdue position report overdue at destination fuel exhaustion inability to communicate with aircraft continuing to operate in unsafe conditions in-flight fire loss of engine/s loss of cabin pressure security threat incapacitation of flight crew member ditching/emergency landing rescue co-ordination government/air traffic control ATC coordination and notification unlawful interference with aviation interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work maintaining aviation communications and data links: data communications: transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) high frequency (HF) satellite voice communications: mobile telephony very high frequency (VHF) ultra high frequency (UHF) HF radio over IP (ROIP) satellite modifying activities depending on differing operational dispatch contingencies, risk situations and environments monitoring flight performance including: fuel consumption en route weather including winds aircraft performance including the limitations imposed by MEL restrictions in-flight equipment failures security problems effects of and on hazardous materials restricted articles perishable cargo operating electronic communications equipment to required protocol reading, interpreting and following relevant regulations, instructions, procedures, information and signs reporting and documenting unlawful interference with aviation reporting and/or rectifying identified problems promptly, in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures responding appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace selecting and using required personal protective equipment conforming to industry and work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) standards taking action to manage unlawful interference with aviation working collaboratively with others when managing disruptive and unlawful behaviour within aviation operating environments working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment.

Assessment Conditions

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations. Where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations acceptable means of simulation assessment applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.
