This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate rotary wing remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.

It includes climbing an aircraft, maintaining straight and level flight, descending an aircraft and turning an aircraft. It also includes controlling an aircraft at any speed, performing circuits and approaches, and complying with airspace requirements.

This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aircraft operational duties of flight crew 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 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.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice	Yes	No	Comments/feedback
Adjustments are made to attitude and power to achieve an increase of altitude at normal, maximum rate (VY), maximum angle (VX) and cruise climb flight configurations from straight and level flight
Appropriate altimeter settings are set
Aircraft is maintained in balanced flight during adjustments to attitude and power
Power is maintained as altitude increases
Aircraft is levelled off from climb at nominated altitude
Lookout is maintained during climb using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain
Situational awareness is maintained
Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain a descent from straight and level flight
Aircraft is levelled from a descent at a nominated altitude
Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility or terrain
Clearance ahead and below is maintained
Air traffic control (ATC) altitude restrictions are observed
Design limits are not exceeded during aircraft descent
Appropriate altimeter settings are set
Situation awareness is maintained always during aircraft descent
Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain turns at varying rates from level, climbing and descending flight to achieve nominated tracks
Aircraft is rolled out from the turn to achieve nominated heading or geographical feature alignment
Aircraft balance is ensured as required
Lookout is maintained in direction of turn and above or below using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain
Engine operating limits are not exceeded
Attitude and power are adjusted to achieve a constant height, heading and speed while remaining in balanced flight
Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain a descent from straight and level flight
Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain turns at varying rates from level, climbing and descending flight to achieve nominated tracks
Attitude and power are adjusted, accelerated or decelerated to manoeuvre aircraft at any specified airspeed within the flight envelope while maintaining balanced flight
Circuits are joined and conducted in accordance with aeronautical information publication (AIP) and/or local procedures at normal and low altitude appropriate to the aircraft type
Suitable aeronautical charts are interpreted and used to maintain airspace compliance requirements
