Manage traffic flow
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit involves the application of skills and knowledge required to manage traffic flow during air traffic control (ATC) operations, in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and national operating standards.
It includes managing traffic flow safely, establishing traffic sequences, and providing traffic flow adjustments.
Air traffic flow management (ATFM) is established and managed using automated systems or by manual determination, to support ATC in ensuring an optimum flow of air traffic to, from, through or within defined areas during times when demand or expected demand exceeds system capacity.
If automated systems are used, human reasoning should be applied to ensure safety and the most suitable flow of traffic, particularly in times of adverse weather and/or emergency and abnormal flight operations.
This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task\-management abilities) related to ATC duties that complement the nontechnical skills of air traffic controllers, and contribute to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.
Operations are conducted as part of commercial and military air traffic services 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.
Use for Defence Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders, Instructions, Publications and Regulations.
