Unit of Competency AVIF0021 - Manage human factors in remote pilot aircraft systems operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage human factors in remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) operations, in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards. It includes managing personal performance, communicating effectively within an aviation environment, and recognising threats and errors.This unit addresses aviation non-technical skill requirements (mental, social and personal-management abilities) related to safety management duties of flight operations personnel, and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.Operations are conducted as part of recreational, 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: Manage human performance
  • Individual performance when conducting remote system operations is monitored against operational requirements
       
Element: Degradation of physiological condition is recognised and appropriate strategies implemented to ensure safe outcome
       
Element: Signs of stress are identified and managed to maintain a safe operating environment
       
Element: Limitations to personal performance are communicated to others where necessary to maintain a safe operating environment
       
Element: Signs of personal fatigue are identified and managed to maintain a safe operating environment
       
Element: Communicate effectively
  • Effective listening skills are applied
       
Element: Questions are used to gain additional information and to clarify understanding of remote pilot aircraft system mission
       
Element: Information received is clarified, as required, interpreted and accurately communicated or reported with due observation of the operational environment
       
Element: Communication is undertaken in varying situations with culturally diverse, familiar and unfamiliar individuals, teams and crews
       
Element: Appropriate protocols and procedures are followed when using communications systems during routine and contingency remote system operations
       
Element: Effective communication is maintained with stakeholders
       
Element: Recognise and respond to actual and potential threats and errors
  • Potential environmental or operational threats and errors that are likely to affect the safety of RPAS flight are recognised
       
Element: Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and hazard management is implemented
       
Element: Actual environmental or operational threats that affect the safety of RPAS flight are recognised
       
Element: Competing operational priorities and task demands that may represent a threat to the safety of RPAS flight are identified
       
Element: Threat countermeasures are identified and implemented
       
Element: RPAS flight progress and effect of countermeasures are monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome
       
Element: Alternative countermeasures are identified and implemented, and effectiveness of countermeasures are re-evaluated
       
Element: Checklists and standard operating procedures are implemented to prevent RPAS handling, procedural or communication errors
       
Element: Committed errors are identified and responded to before aircraft enters an undesired state
       
Element: RPAS are monitored using a systematic scan technique to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
       
Element: RPAS operating environment is monitored to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
       
Element: Own performance is self-monitored to recognise potential or actual error occurrence
       
Element: Countermeasure implementation is undertaken to prevent or correct errors before RPAS enters an undesired state
       
Element: Countermeasure implementation is undertaken to prevent or correct errors after RPAS enters an undesired state

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.
