This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct a flight test in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.

This unit also applies to conducting and administering a proficiency check.

It includes planning a flight test, preparing an applicant for a flight test and conducting a flight test. It also includes making assessment decisions, conducting post-flight test briefing and completing administrative requirements.

This unit addresses aviation non-technical skill requirements (mental, social and personal-management abilities) related to training and assessment duties of flight examiners and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.

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

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

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

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task.

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.
