Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Conduct pre-flight preparations
   • Relevant controlled aerodrome operational information is extracted from authorised sources
2. Information is interpreted to determine appropriate departure, arrival and landing requirements
3. Special aerodrome procedures are identified as required
4. Weather forecasts and local observations are checked for operating validity for flight planned duration
5. Relevant radio and navigation aid frequencies are identified for use during all flight modes
6. Taxi aircraft at a controlled aerodrome
   • Air traffic clearances are obtained and complied with
7. Aircraft is manoeuvred to holding point as instructed and appropriate action is taken to avoid other aircraft and obstructions
8. Aerodrome ground markings are identified and appropriate action taken during aircraft taxi
9. Aerodrome lighting signals are identified and appropriate action taken to comply with ground/hover taxi requirements
10. Airport runway incursion hotspots are identified
11. Aircraft separation and lookout are maintained for other aircraft and other aerodrome obstructions, including jet blast hazards
12. Appropriate aircraft lighting is selected during aircraft taxi
13. Aircraft is taxied or air transited to runway holding point
14. Perform aircraft departure
    • Airways clearance is obtained and confirmed with air traffic services
15. Runway approaches are checked and cleared in all directions prior to entering runway
16. Aircraft transponder code and appropriate mode are selected
17. Air traffic departure instructions are complied with, and air traffic is advised of clearance instructions non-compliance as soon as possible as required
18. Aircraft separation is maintained and wake turbulence conditions avoided during aircraft departure sequence
19. Air traffic service is advised of departure details as required
20. Airways clearance instructions are maintained within tracking and altitude tolerances, and lookout is maintained until clear of the aerodrome control zone
21. Perform arrival and landing
    • Relevant controlled aerodrome operational information is extracted from authorised sources prior to entering control area
22. Local or area barometric pressure adjusted for sea level (QNH) is set
23. Air traffic clearance is gained from air traffic service and appropriate transponder code is selected prior to entry to control area, and air traffic is advised of clearance instructions non-compliance as soon as possible as required
24. Aircraft separation, lookout and tracking tolerances are maintained within the control area
25. Wind velocity and direction are assessed to confirm clearance instructions, and appropriate circuit and landing direction
26. Landing clearance is confirmed with air traffic service
27. Aircraft is landed and taxi clearance from runway and landing areas is obtained

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.
