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

It includes climbing an aeroplane, maintaining straight and level flight, descending an aeroplane and turning an aeroplane. It also includes controlling an aeroplane at slow 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 conditions of flight during straight and turning manoeuvres
Aeroplane is maintained in balanced flight and trimmed
Aeroplane is levelled off from climb at nominated altitude using standard aeroplane procedures
Flightpath clearance is ensured
Climb checks are completed
Air traffic control (ATC) altitude restrictions are observed
Power, attitude and configuration are set to achieve descent during glide, power-assisted flight and approach profiles
Aeroplane is maintained in balanced flight and trimmed
Aeroplane is levelled from a descent at a nominated altitude
Flightpath clearance is ensured
ATC altitude restrictions are observed
Aeroplane operating limits are not exceeded during descent
Effects of undercarriage and flaps are managed
Descent checks are completed
Airspace cleared procedure is carried out
Heading is altered in balanced flight during level, climbing, descending and gliding manoeuvres and turns are performed at varying rates to achieve specified tracks
Turn on to nominated heading or geographical feature is achieved
Aeroplane operating limits are maintained during turns
Power, attitude and configuration are set to achieve straight and level flight
Airspace cleared procedure is carried out
Pre-manoeuvre checks are completed in accordance with operating procedures
Traffic patterns are conducted in accordance with aeronautical information package (AIP) procedures appropriate to the aeroplane type with allowance for wind velocity on all legs of the circuit
While aeroplane is maintained within a specified area, compliance is maintained with air traffic requirements and restricted, controlled and other appropriately designated airspace
