This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to obtain a commercial pilot licence (aeroplane) in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.

It addresses the following competency standards in the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs) Part 61 Manual of Standards Instrument:

Common standards

communicating in the aviation environment

perform pre- and post-flight actions and procedures

operate aeronautical radio

manage fuel

manage passengers and cargo

non-technical skills 1 (manage a safe flight)

non-technical skills 2 (recognise, direct and manage threats and errors).

Navigation and instrument flying standards

navigate aircraft

radio navigation en route

full instrument panel manoeuvres

limited instrument panel manoeuvres

operate at a controlled aerodrome

operate at non-towered aerodromes

operate in controlled airspace

operate in Class G airspace.

Aircraft rating standards: aeroplane category

control aeroplane on the ground

take-off aeroplane

control aeroplane in normal flight

land aeroplane

aeroplane advanced manoeuvres

manage abnormal situations – single engine aeroplanes.

This unit addresses aviation non-technical skills and knowledge requirements (mental, social and personal-management abilities) for commercial pilots and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.

This unit also addresses aviation technical skills and knowledge requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to commercial pilot duties and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.

Operations are conducted as part of commercial or military aircraft activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry.

Work is performed independently or under limited supervision within a single-pilot or multi-crew environment.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

Assessment task 1: [title]      Due date:

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
