Unit of Competency AVIW0006 - Perform infrastructure inspections using remote operated systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate and manage remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) when inspecting infrastructure in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.Infrastructure includes but is not limited to electricity pylons, gas pipelines, cables, roads and rail infrastructure.It includes operating and managing RPAS during normal flight, and managing RPAS during abnormal and emergency procedures.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to equipment and system operations of flight or ground operations personnel 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 or under limited supervision within a single-pilot or multi-crew RPAS 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: Conduct pre-flight actions
  • Own fitness for flight and planned operations is self-assessed
       
Element: Operational aircraft type is determined for suitability for type of aerial infrastructure inspection operation
       
Element: Aircraft and role equipment are checked and assessed for serviceability prior to commencing flight operations
       
Element: Required applicable maintenance documentation is compiled and checked for accuracy and completeness
       
Element: Role equipment calibration is checked and adjusted as required
       
Element: Planned aerial infrastructure inspection operations are assessed for potential or actual hazards
       
Element: Fuel/power requirements are determined and established within aerial operational plans
       
Element: Issues relating to aircraft weight, performance, dimensions, load and meteorological conditions are identified and managed
       
Element: Conduct planning and risk management
  • Suitability of current and forecast weather is determined
       
Element: Infrastructure inspection plan is developed and used as the basis for aerial application operations
       
Element: Potential and actual hazards and operational requirements are identified, risks to aerial infrastructure inspection operations are assessed and appropriate risk controls implemented in accordance with the application management plan
       
Element: Area map is correctly interpreted
       
Element: Acceptable aircraft performance for aerial infrastructure inspection operational conditions is confirmed through performance planning
       
Element: Normal and abnormal operational communications and signals are confirmed
       
Element: Conduct aerial mapping and modelling
  • Appropriate aerial survey plans are developed for conducting safe aerial mapping and modelling operations
       
Element: Operating area boundaries are established and environmentally sensitive areas identified, including areas that are noise sensitive, biologically susceptible, populated and urban, and restricted or dangerous
       
Element: Potential emergency or alternate landing areas are identified and/or established for contingency operations
       
Element: Environmental hazard factors affecting aerial mapping and modelling operations are considered
       
Element: Wind velocity and direction are assessed for effect on operations
       
Element: Infrastructure inspection operations is conducted safely in accordance with the application management plan
       
Element: Infrastructure inspection equipment is operated within scope of the plan
       
Element: Decisions to suspend or continue safe aerial infrastructure inspection are taken based on planned or actual operating conditions
       
Element: Power lines within and outside the treatment area during an aerial survey are identified and accurately assessed to support safe operations in vicinity of power lines, including safe flying parallel to wires
       
Element: Perform infrastructure inspections
  • Infrastructure and condition assessment criteria are verified and understood prior to the inspection
       
Element: Data capture process is selected based on the type of infrastructure
       
Element: Various types of structural failures are recognised and recorded
       
Element: Infrastructure data and records are provided in accordance with client 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.
