Qualification -
Unit of Competency AVIF0031 - Manage threats and errors as pilot in command
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage threats and errors as pilot in command (PIC) in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes recognising and managing actual and potential threats, recognising and managing actual and potential errors, recognising and managing undesired aircraft states, making effective decisions, and reporting and recording operational occurrences.This unit addresses aviation non-technical skill requirements (mental, social and personal-management abilities) for a PIC 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 without supervision within a multi-crew 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: Recognise and manage actual and potential threats
  • Potential environmental or operational threats likely to affect flight safety are identified
       
Element: Actual environmental or operational threats that affect flight safety are identified
       
Element: Competing operational priorities and task demands that may represent a threat to flight safety flight are identified
       
Element: Effective decisions are made to manage actual and potential threats, and countermeasure tasks are identified and allocated to appropriate flight crew members
       
Element: Flight progress and effect of countermeasures are monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome
       
Element: Alternative countermeasures are identified and implemented, and countermeasures are re-evaluated for effectiveness
       
Element: Recognise and manage actual and potential errors
  • Checklists and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are implemented to prevent aircraft handling, procedural or communication errors
       
Element: Committed errors are identified and responded to before aircraft enters an undesired state
       
Element: Aircraft systems are monitored using a systematic scan technique to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
       
Element: Flight operating environment is monitored to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
       
Element: Team performance is monitored to recognise potential or actual error occurrence
       
Element: Effective decisions are made to manage actual and potential errors, and countermeasure tasks are identified and allocated to appropriate flight crew members before aircraft enters an undesired state
       
Element: Effective decisions are made to manage actual and potential errors, and countermeasure tasks are identified and allocated to appropriate flight crew members to correct errors after aircraft enters an undesired state
       
Element: Recognise and manage undesired aircraft states
  • Undesired aircraft states are recognised
       
Element: Effective decisions are made to manage undesired aircraft states, and countermeasure tasks are allocated and prioritised to ensure an undesired aircraft state is managed effectively
       
Element: Corrective actions to recover an undesired aircraft state are applied in a safe and timely manner
       
Element: Make effective decisions
  • Relevant, current and sufficient information is gathered to assess and analyse situation for decision making
       
Element: Problem-solving strategies and techniques are used to identify and generate options
       
Element: Decisions are made and communicated to flight crew and implemented in a timely manner in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
       
Element: Decisions and actions are evaluated for their effectiveness and positive outcomes
       
Element: Decisions, their rationale and associated actions are documented and reported in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
       
Element: Operational decisions and actions taken to manage threats and errors are reported and recorded in accordance with appropriate workplace procedures and regulatory requirements

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.
