Unit of Competency AVIH0009 - Manage aircraft flight planning and performance as pilot in command
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage aircraft flight planning and performance as pilot in command (PIC) in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes managing flight planning activities, undertaking pre-flight preparations, and managing pre-departure preparations and taxi procedures. It also includes managing aircraft departure procedures, aircraft climb out and cruise, and managing the conduct of approach, landing and post-flight procedures.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to route planning and navigation duties of 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.

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.
