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 and operating environment in accordance with standard operating procedures adhering to restricted, controlled and other appropriately designated airspace requirements applying precautions and required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards applying relevant aeroplane aeronautical knowledge applying relevant legislation and workplace procedures applying the techniques of straight and level, climbing and descending flight to achieve a consistent traffic pattern and approach to landing communicating effectively with others when controlling an aeroplane in normal flight including using an aeronautical radio compensating for the secondary effects of controls completing relevant documentation confirming runway and aerodrome serviceability and availability controlling an aeroplane during slow speed flight controlling an aeroplane during turning manoeuvres determining appropriate runway and circuit procedures identifying and correctly using relevant equipment identifying geographical features from aerodrome charts including: aerodromes and landing areas within local area geographical limits geographical limits of flight training areas restricted, controlled and uncontrolled airspace areas state local airspace limits transit route between departure aerodrome and training area implementing contingency plans implementing work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures and relevant regulations interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritising work maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements maintaining separation between aircraft modifying activities depending on workplace contingencies, situations and environments monitoring and anticipating operational problems and hazards and taking appropriate action monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule operating electronic communications equipment to required protocol operating safely in the vicinity of local aerodromes and landing areas performing circuits and approaches reading, interpreting and following relevant regulations, instructions, procedures, information and signs remaining within a designated area while complying with airspace and air traffic requirements reporting and/or rectifying identified problems promptly, in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures selecting and using required personal protective equipment conforming to industry and WHS/OHS standards setting local or area barometric pressure adjusted for sea level (QNH) at appropriate stages of flight using instruments to monitor aeroplane performance working collaboratively with others when controlling an aeroplane in normal flight including using an aeronautical radio 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.
