Unit of Competency AVIY0037 - Operate at a controlled aerodrome
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate at a controlled aerodrome in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes conducting pre-flight preparations; taxiing aircraft; and applying aircraft departure, arrival and landing 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: Conduct pre-flight preparations
  • Relevant controlled aerodrome operational information is extracted from authorised sources
       
Element: Information is interpreted to determine appropriate departure, arrival and landing requirements
       
Element: Special aerodrome procedures are identified as required
       
Element: Weather forecasts and local observations are checked for operating validity for flight planned duration
       
Element: Relevant radio and navigation aid frequencies are identified for use during all flight modes
       
Element: Taxi aircraft at a controlled aerodrome
  • Air traffic clearances are obtained and complied with
       
Element: Aircraft is manoeuvred to holding point as instructed and appropriate action is taken to avoid other aircraft and obstructions
       
Element: Aerodrome ground markings are identified and appropriate action taken during aircraft taxi
       
Element: Aerodrome lighting signals are identified and appropriate action taken to comply with ground/hover taxi requirements
       
Element: Airport runway incursion hotspots are identified
       
Element: Aircraft separation and lookout are maintained for other aircraft and other aerodrome obstructions, including jet blast hazards
       
Element: Appropriate aircraft lighting is selected during aircraft taxi
       
Element: Aircraft is taxied or air transited to runway holding point
       
Element: Perform aircraft departure
  • Airways clearance is obtained and confirmed with air traffic services
       
Element: Runway approaches are checked and cleared in all directions prior to entering runway
       
Element: Aircraft transponder code and appropriate mode are selected
       
Element: Air traffic departure instructions are complied with, and air traffic is advised of clearance instructions non-compliance as soon as possible as required
       
Element: Aircraft separation is maintained and wake turbulence conditions avoided during aircraft departure sequence
       
Element: Air traffic service is advised of departure details as required
       
Element: Airways clearance instructions are maintained within tracking and altitude tolerances, and lookout is maintained until clear of the aerodrome control zone
       
Element: Perform arrival and landing
  • Relevant controlled aerodrome operational information is extracted from authorised sources prior to entering control area
       
Element: Local or area barometric pressure adjusted for sea level (QNH) is set
       
Element: Air traffic clearance is gained from air traffic service and appropriate transponder code is selected prior to entry to control area, and air traffic is advised of clearance instructions non-compliance as soon as possible as required
       
Element: Aircraft separation, lookout and tracking tolerances are maintained within the control area
       
Element: Wind velocity and direction are assessed to confirm clearance instructions, and appropriate circuit and landing direction
       
Element: Landing clearance is confirmed with air traffic service
       
Element: Aircraft is landed and taxi clearance from runway and landing areas is obtained

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.
