Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan an operational flight management training scenario
   • Typical commercial or military flight operation conditions including normal and abnormal operations, are identified
   • Training scenarios that require management of planned and unplanned inflight situations are designed, including simulated abnormal and emergency operations
   • Training scenarios that involve knowledgebased solutions and flight management activities that assess and resolve less defined events, are designed
   • Sufficient timeframes and realistic workloads are allocated in the scenario design to enable trainee/s to meet objectives without being overloaded
   • Realistic scenario plan is developed with sufficient detail to ensure learning outcomes can be achieved without improvisation when airborne
   • Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and hazard management is implemented
   • Learning activities are designed that ensure components of competency are emphasised and reinforced
2. Prepare trainee/s for scenariobased flight training
   • Trainee/s existing level of operational knowledge is identified and gaps in knowledge are rectified as required
   • Scenariobased session plan is discussed with trainee/s
   • Objectives and outcomes of session plan are explained to trainee/s
   • Application and context of session is explained to and confirmed with trainee/s
   • Trainee/s role with regard to command status, decision implementation and trainer assumption of control, is confirmed
   • Scenariobased learning including multiple solutions to problems and the session not being formally assessed, is explained to and confirmed with trainee/s
3. Deliver training
   • Presentation and delivery methods are adjusted to cater for trainee characteristics and to meet learning outcomes
   • Trainee responsibility for planning and conducting a flight is explained
   • Environment that simulates a typical civil or military air task is established as required
   • Dimensions of aviation competency are emphasised and reinforced during presentation of training sessions
   • Flight scenarios are logically sequenced with clear transition and linking of events that provide variety, encourage participation and reinforce dimensions of aviation competency
   • Verbal feedback and motivation are provided to assist trainee in achieving session outcome
   • Intervention and assumption of control is applied as required to ensure flight safety
   • Situational awareness is maintained to ensure situations that might jeopardise safety are not allowed to develop
   • Detailed record of flight events is maintained
   • Training sessions are reviewed and modified as required to meet trainee needs
4. Conduct post-flight discussion
   • Process, rationale and benefits of post-flight discussion are explained to trainee
   • Trainees are encouraged to lead discussion including evaluation of their own performance and quality of self-assessment
   • Assistance in recalling sequence of events is provided as required
   • Flight events, actions and results of decisions are identified, analysed and feedback is provided to trainee
   • Trainee are encouraged to examine whether alternative actions may have resulted in better outcomes
   • Constructive feedback and reinforcement is provided to trainee
5. Review delivery of scenariobased flight training
   • Training delivery is assessed against program goals, session plans and training outcomes
   • Delivery and effectiveness of training session is discussed with appropriate personnel
   • Adjustment of scenarios and delivery are incorporated as required to improve learning outcomes

Range Statement

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least one occasion and include:

adapting to differences in equipment and operating environment in accordance with standard operating procedures applying precautions and required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards applying trainer intervention and assumption of control as required to ensure flight safety assessing training delivery against program goals, session plans and training outcomes communicating effectively with others completing relevant documentation confirming trainee role with regard to command status, decision implementation and trainer assumption of control designing and delivering training scenarios that: require management of planned and unplanned inflight situations involve knowledgebased solutions are flight management activities that assess and resolve less defined events and include simulated abnormal and emergency operations developing a realistic scenario plan with sufficient detail to ensure training outcomes can be achieved without improvisation when airborne discussing training session delivery with appropriate personnel to determine effectiveness emphasising and reinforcing components of competency during presentation of training sessions establishing an environment that simulates a typical civil or military air task/operation explaining scenariobased learning to trainee/s identifying and correctly using relevant equipment identifying typical commercial or military flight operation conditions including normal and abnormal operations implementing contingency plans implementing work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures and relevant regulations interpreting and following operational instructions and prioritise work maintaining situational awareness to ensure situations that might jeopardise safety are not allowed to develop modifying activities depending on workplace contingencies, situations and environments monitoring and anticipating operational problems and hazards and taking appropriate action monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule providing constructive feedback to trainee/s on each event that occurred during a flight including analysis of actions and results of decisions providing leadership and working collaboratively with others when delivering operational flight management training reading, interpreting and following relevant regulations, instructions, procedures, information and signs reporting and/or rectifying problems, faults or malfunctions promptly, in accordance with workplace procedures responding appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace selecting and using required personal protective clothing and equipment conforming to industry and WHS /OHS standards sequencing flight scenarios logically, including clear transition and linking of events that provide variety, encourage participation and reinforce competencies working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment.
