Unit of Competency AVIH0006 - Navigate remote pilot aircraft systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to navigate remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes preparing charts and flight plans, complying with airspace procedures, conducting departure procedures and maintaining RPAS in operational areas. It also includes navigating RPAS in visual line of sight (VLOS), applying lost link and radio communication procedures, and executing arrival procedures.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to route planning and navigation duties of aviation 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 within a single-pilot or multi-crew remote pilot aircraft (RPA) 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: Prepare charts and flight plan
  • Suitable maps, aeronautical charts and weather briefings for intended operation are selected and flight plan is prepared
       
Element: Pre-operations information and Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) is accessed, analysed and applied to flight plan
       
Element: Hazards are clearly indicated on charts and risk controls are implemented
       
Element: Effects of wind velocity, adverse environmental conditions and contingency actions are planned for
       
Element: Comply with CASA standard operating conditions
  • CASA standard operating conditions are complied with and air traffic regulations are maintained
       
Element: Airspace awareness is maintained
       
Element: Conduct departure procedures
  • Remote pilot station is organised and essential information is accessed
       
Element: Departure administration tasks and communications are conducted
       
Element: Orientation to ground level is maintained
       
Element: Control of RPAS is given precedence over conducting navigation and communication tasks
       
Element: Situational awareness and lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique
       
Element: Local and published noise abatement requirements and curfews are observed
       
Element: Separation with other air traffic is maintained
       
Element: Maintain RPAS in operational area
  • Planned route is followed
       
Element: Communication tasks are complied with
       
Element: RPAS endurance is monitored and energy reserve needs are revised
       
Element: Pre-descent or navigation turning point checks are executed if required
       
Element: Air traffic separation is maintained at all times
       
Element: Deteriorating visual meteorological conditions are recognised and appropriate RPAS corrective actions are taken
       
Element: Situational awareness and lookout is undertaken using a systematic scan technique
       
Element: Navigate RPAS within VLOS
  • VLOS of RPAS is maintained at all times
       
Element: Awareness of current and forecast weather conditions is maintained
       
Element: Systematic scan technique is implemented at all times
       
Element: Hazards and threats are identified and appropriately controlled
       
Element: Effects of wind velocity, adverse environmental conditions and contingency actions are responded to as required
       
Element: Situational awareness is maintained at all times
       
Element: Apply abnormal and emergency situation response procedures
  • Remote piloted aircraft is configured to maintain safe operating conditions within defined airspace requirements during abnormal and emergency situations
       
Element: Remote piloted aircraft position and intention broadcasts are made to local and area traffic, including air traffic services
       
Element: Appropriate radio communication failure procedures during abnormal or emergency situations are selected
       
Element: Perform arrival and landing
  • Aircraft separation, lookout and tracking tolerances are maintained within the control area
       
Element: Wind velocity and direction are assessed to confirm clearance instructions and landing direction
       
Element: Aircraft is landed in the defined landing zone in accordance with documented procedures
       
Element: Perform documented shutdown procedures

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.
