This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) performance and load in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.
It includes applying mass and balance control to flight planning, identifying constraints affecting load planning and planning an aircraft load. It also includes applying principles of aircraft balance and longitudinal stability to load planning, identifying aircraft structural limitations, and identifying aircraft mass and performance planning safety factors. It also includes determining aircraft mass and speed limitations, calculating launch requirements, calculating climb performance, calculating landing requirements, and determining aircraft buffet boundaries and speeds.
This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to route planning and navigation duties of flight dispatch personnel 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 as a single operator or within a team environment.
Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
