Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Set up aviation networks and data links
   • The extent of the network to be set up is determined from flight plan and/or in consultation with appropriate persons.
2. Data network links are set up using a range of appropriate transmitting and receiving methods and protocols
3. Consideration is given to the technical factors that will have an impact on the network connections
4. Risk management strategies are determined with relevant team members where available
5. Maintain aviation networks and data links
   • Data network links are monitored and maintained throughout flight support activities using a range of appropriate transmitting and receiving methods and protocols
6. Voice and data communication links with emergency response agencies are monitored and maintained throughout flight using a range of appropriate transmitting and receiving methods and protocols
7. Aircraft position information and reports are routinely monitored and data communication links within flight support monitoring systems updated
8. Aircraft communication links are continuously monitored and appropriate voice and data communication failure response plans are implemented
9. Manage unanticipated airborne situations
   • Unanticipated severe weather penetration effects are evaluated against flight plan and amendments are made
10. High terrain transit performance calculations and effects on flight performance are addressed
11. Manage contingencies with networks beyond visual line of sight
    • Overdue position reports are responded to in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements
12. Overdue at destination response actions are implemented in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements
13. Contingency plans for aircraft power exhaustion are implemented and coordination with emergency response agencies is maintained
14. Unlawful interference with aviation and aircraft flight safety is identified and managed in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements
