Unit of Competency AVIY0033 - Operate aircraft using aircraft flight instruments
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate aircraft using aircraft flight instruments in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes establishing serviceability of flight instruments and instrument power sources, operating an aircraft using full instrument procedures and recovering from unusual attitudes using full instrument procedures. It also includes operating an aircraft using limited instrument procedures, recovering from unusual attitudes using limited instrument procedures, re-establishing visual flight and performing steep turns.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aircraft operational duties that complement flight crew non-technical skills 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 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: Perform steep turns
  • Power, attitude and bank are set to maintain level flight by reference to full instrument panel that achieves a steep turn
  • Nominated angle of bank is maintained
  • Aircraft turn is exited onto nominated heading
  • Aircraft is balanced and trimmed to maintain nominated aircraft altitude, heading, speed and/or climb/descent performance within flight tolerances
       
Element: Establish serviceability of flight instruments and instrument power sources
  • Serviceability of flight instrument, pitot/static system and instrument power sources is determined before flight
       
Element: Functional checks of flight and navigational instruments are performed before departure
       
Element: Operate aircraft using full instrument procedures
  • Flight instrument and instrument power sources are monitored and pilot cautions, warnings and indications reacted to in accordance with full instrument procedures
       
Element: Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve straight and level performance during normal cruise
       
Element: Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve nominated climb performance
       
Element: Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve nominated descent performance
       
Element: Power, attitude and bank during climb, descent and straight and level flight are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve rate one turns onto a nominated heading
       
Element: Aircraft is balanced and trimmed to maintain nominated aircraft altitude, heading, speed and/or climb/descent performance within flight tolerances
       
Element: Aircraft is levelled at nominated altitude, from climb or descent during straight or turning flight
       
Element: Recover from unusual attitudes using full instrument procedures
  • Unusual attitudes and upset situations are recognised and identified
       
Element: Controlled flight is resumed by reference to flight instruments using a full instrument panel
       
Element: Straight and level attitude is achieved without excessive oscillations at the horizon
       
Element: Aircraft is recovered to above lowest safe altitude (LSALT)
       
Element: Operate aircraft using limited instrument procedures
  • Flight instrument and instrument power sources are monitored and pilot cautions, warnings and indications reacted to in accordance with limited instrument procedures
       
Element: Aircraft is transitioned from full instrument operating procedures to limited instrument operating procedures while maintaining safe flight profiles
       
Element: Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve straight and level performance during normal cruise
       
Element: Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve nominated climb performance
       
Element: Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve nominated descent performance
       
Element: Power, attitude and bank during climb, descent, straight and level flight are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve rate one turns onto a nominated heading
       
Element: Recover from unusual attitudes using limited instrument procedures
  • Unusual attitudes and upset situations are recognised and identified
       
Element: Controlled flight is resumed by reference to flight instruments using a limited instrument panel
       
Element: Aircraft is recovered to above LSALT
       
Element: Re-establish visual flight
  • Aircraft is transitioned from visual flight conditions to instrument flight conditions while aircraft control is maintained
       
Element: Aircraft is manoeuvred to re-establish visual flight
       
Element: Plan is implemented to ensure flight continues within visual meteorological conditions (VMC)
  • Power, attitude and bank are set to maintain level flight by reference to full instrument panel that achieves a steep turn
       
Element: Nominated angle of bank is maintained
       
Element: Aircraft turn is exited onto nominated heading
       

Submission Requirements

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.
