Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to set up and monitor networks and data links with unmanned aircraft systems beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and international aviation operating standards.It includes maintaining aviation communication and data links, managing routine and emergency airborne situations.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aircraft operational duties of flight dispatch and flight operations support personnel, and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.Operations are conducted as part of commercial and military aircraft activities 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.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: 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.
       
Element: Data network links are set up using a range of appropriate transmitting and receiving methods and protocols
       
Element: Consideration is given to the technical factors that will have an impact on the network connections
       
Element: Risk management strategies are determined with relevant team members where available
       
Element: 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
       
Element: 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
       
Element: Aircraft position information and reports are routinely monitored and data communication links within flight support monitoring systems updated
       
Element: Aircraft communication links are continuously monitored and appropriate voice and data communication failure response plans are implemented
       
Element: Manage unanticipated airborne situations
  • Unanticipated severe weather penetration effects are evaluated against flight plan and amendments are made
       
Element: High terrain transit performance calculations and effects on flight performance are addressed
       
Element: Manage contingencies with networks beyond visual line of sight
  • Overdue position reports are responded to in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements
       
Element: Overdue at destination response actions are implemented in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements
       
Element: Contingency plans for aircraft power exhaustion are implemented and coordination with emergency response agencies is maintained
       
Element: Unlawful interference with aviation and aircraft flight safety is identified and managed in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements
       
Element: Emergency landing procedures are implemented during aircraft emergency situations
       
Element: Coordination and liaison with retrieval crew is maintained during aircraft emergency situations

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.

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

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.
