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.
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
Words are pronounced clearly, using an accent that does not cause difficulties in understanding 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Plain English is used effectively when standard phraseology is inadequate 
 
 
 
 
Required fuel reserves are determined 
 
Fuel quantity on-board aircraft prior to flight is verified using two independent methods 
 
 
 
 
 
Traffic separation is maintained using a systematic visual scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility, and terrain 
 
 
Correct aeronautical charts are interpreted and used to maintain airspace compliance requirements 
 
 
 
 
Relevant environmental or operational threats that are likely to affect the safety of the flight are identified 
 
 
 
Checklists and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are applied to prevent aircraft handling, procedural or communication errors 
 
 
Undesired aircraft state is recognised 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Information contained in the required pre-flight operational documentation is obtained, interpreted, and applied 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Helicopter is positioned with a view to safety and rotor clearance when starting engine and rotors 
 
 
From straight and level flight, attitude and power is adjusted to achieve a climb at normal, best rate (Vy), best angle (Vx) and cruise climb flight configurations 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain a descent from straight and level 
 
 
 
 
 
Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain turns at varying rates from level, climbing and descending flight to achieve nominated tracks, during level turns, climbing turns with 20° bank angle and powered descending turn with 30° bank angle 
 
 
 
 
Aircraft performance is calculated for the flight 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Helicopter is turned around the mast while maintaining a constant height at a specified rate of turn 
 
 
 
 
Helicopter is manoeuvred over the ground on a prescribed track at constant height associated with ground effect and speed adjusted to suit helicopter type, surface conditions, congestion, maintenance of control and to avoid collision with obstacles or other aircraft 
 
 
Transit clearance is obtained and complies with ATC instructions (if applicable) 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Helicopter is maintained in hovering flight remaining over a nominated hover point at a nominated height and heading in cross and tail winds 
 
Helicopter is turned around a nominated point on or forward of the nose while maintaining a constant height and specified rate of movement around that point 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Helicopter is transitioned from static hover to sideways and rearward flight 
 
 
 
 
Pre-landing checks are complete if applicable 
 
 
 
An adverse landing situation is identified when developing 
 
An adverse lift-off situation is identified when it is developing 
Shutdown and post-shutdown actions are performed 
 
 
Post-flight inspection is conducted and the aircraft is secured if applicable
