Unit of Competency AVIM0008 - Operate a simulator
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate a simulator in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards. Use of this unit for simulation activities outside of an aviation context is to be in accordance with relevant regulatory, organisational or enterprise procedures.It includes applying simulation operations safety, conducting pre-operation planning, controlling a simulation activity and performing post-operation activities.This unit addresses technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to training and assessment duties of simulator operators, instructors and assessors, and contributes to safe and effective performance in simple and/or complex operational or training environments.Operations are conducted as part of recreational, commercial and military simulation activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry, or other vocational operating environments when required.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.

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.
