Unit of Competency AVIY0043 - Monitor flight performance
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to monitor flight performance in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and international aviation operating standards.It includes maintaining a flight watch, maintaining aviation communication and data links, managing routine and emergency airborne situations, and identifying and assessing aviation ground resources.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aircraft operational duties of flight dispatch and flight operations support personnel 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 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.

Element: Aircraft position information and reports are routinely monitored and updated using aircraft voice and data communication links within flight support monitoring systems
       
Element: Aircraft communication links are continuously monitored and appropriate voice and data communication failure response plans implemented
       
Element: Manage routine airborne situations
  • Aircraft performance, including the limitations imposed by minimum equipment list (MEL) restrictions, is continuously monitored
       
Element: Effects of air traffic service reroutes are identified and appropriate courses of action developed
       
Element: Unanticipated severe weather penetration effects are evaluated against flight plan and amendments advised to flight crew
       
Element: High terrain transit performance calculations and effects on flight performance are advised to flight crew
       
Element: Effects of identified moderate or severe icing conditions not known to air traffic services are evaluated
       
Element: Flight crew are advised of changes to planned flight conditions and updated about relevant operational information to maintain flight performance and aircraft safety
       
Element: Manage emergency airborne situations
  • Overdue position reports are responded to in accordance with regulatory and workplace requirements
       
Element: Overdue at destination response actions are implemented in accordance with regulatory and workplace 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.
