Unit of Competency AVIH0015 - Plan a flight under night visual flight rules
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to plan a flight under night visual flight rules (NVFR) in compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes determining aircraft NVFR flight requirements, obtaining and using operational documents, preparing NVFR flight plans, making flight notifications and programming navigation systems.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to route planning and navigation duties of flight crew 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 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: Determine aircraft meets requirements for NVFR flight
  • Aircraft requirements for NVFR flight are determined
       
Element: Flight and navigation instruments, minimum electrical lighting, navigation equipment and any other requirements fitted to aircraft are checked to ensure they are suitable and serviceable for NVFR flight
       
Element: Obtain and use current operational documents
  • Operational documents applicable to flight are obtained and checked for currency
       
Element: Applicable information contained in documents for flight planning and management is interpreted and applied
       
Element: Documents required for flight are stowed and their accessibility for pilot during flight is ensured
       
Element: Prepare flight plan for NVFR flight
  • Charts suitable for intended NVFR flight are selected and prepared
       
Element: Applicable information to prepare a flight plan that details tracks, distances, times, altitudes to be flown and fuel requirements to reach destination are obtained, analysed and applied
       
Element: Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and hazard management implemented
       
Element: Meteorological, airways facilities, aerodrome and Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) information applicable to planning and conducting a flight is obtained, interpreted and applied
       
Element: Routes to optimise options in engine failure are planned
       
Element: Determine operational requirements
  • Suitability of aerodrome lighting for night operations is determined
       
Element: Curfew requirements are complied with
       
Element: Duration of flight is determined
       
Element: Holding, alternate and reserve fuel requirements due to weather, navigation aid availability and aerodrome lighting are determined in accordance with operational requirements
       
Element: Total fuel requirements are calculated
       
Element: Make flight notification
  • Flight notification is prepared for planned NVFR flight
       
Element: Completed flight notification is submitted
       
Element: Flight notification acceptance is confirmed
       
Element: Program navigation system
  • Data is prepared for transfer to approved airborne navigation system
       
Element: Navigation data is loaded and checked

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.
