Unit of Competency AVIY0034 - Operate in controlled airspace
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate in controlled airspace in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes applying controlled airspace procedures, and applying abnormal and emergency situation response procedures.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aircraft operational 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: Apply controlled airspace procedures
  • Control area (CTA) and control zone (CTR) instructions for departure, climb, transition to cruise (levelling out), cruise, change of levels, descent and visual approach procedures are adhered to
       
Element: Airways clearance requirements for entering, operating in and departing from CTA and CTR are adhered to
       
Element: Adverse weather conditions affecting airways clearance maintenance are advised to appropriate air traffic services as required
       
Element: Air traffic service requirements for a change in level within CTA during routine flight are adhered to
       
Element: Class C, D and G navigational chart information is identified and interpreted for use within controlled airspace
       
Element: Separation standards between instrument flight rule (IFR) flights, and IFR and visual flight rule (VFR) flights in various classes of CTA are confirmed and applied
       
Element: Restricted and danger area separation requirements are identified and maintained
       
Element: Class C, D and G radio and navigation aid frequencies are identified and used within controlled airspace
       
Element: Aircraft IFR/VFR separation requirements are maintained
       
Element: Aircraft altitude and tracking tolerances when operating on an airways clearance are maintained
       
Element: CTA protection tolerances are maintained
       
Element: Radar vectoring procedures, including radio procedures and phraseologies, are implemented as required through air traffic services instruction
       
Element: Airways clearance requirements for operating in all classes of airspace, including lead time required for flight plan submission, contents, clearance void time, and ‘read back’ requirements, are complied with
       
Element: Apply abnormal and emergency situation response procedures
  • Aircraft is configured to maintain safe operating conditions within controlled airspace requirements during abnormal and emergency situations
       
Element: Aircraft position and intention broadcasts are made to local and area traffic, including air traffic services
       
Element: Appropriate radio communication failure or emergency transponder codes during abnormal or emergency situations are selected within CTA and CTR airspace
       
Element: Air traffic service requirements for a change in level within CTA during abnormal or emergency situations are adhered to
       

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.
