Unit of Competency AVIY0048 - Taxi helicopter
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to taxi a helicopter in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes performing air taxiing manoeuvres and air transiting manoeuvres.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: Perform air taxiing manoeuvres
  • Helicopter is manoeuvred over the ground on a prescribed track at constant height associated with ground effect, and speed is adjusted to suit helicopter type, surface conditions, congestion, maintenance of control and to avoid collision with obstacles or other aircraft
       
Element: Awareness of adverse effects of rotor downwash on surrounding aircraft, people, objects and environment is maintained
       
Element: Engine and rotor speed (revolutions per minute (RPM)/recommended revolutions per minute ?(RRPM)) are managed within normal operating limits
       
Element: Perform air transiting manoeuvres
  • Helicopter is manoeuvred, while allowing for prevailing conditions, over a prescribed track within aerodrome boundaries that is clear of obstacles at a height not above 100 feet (ft) above ground level (AGL) at airspeeds greater than speeds used for air taxiing
       
Element: Helicopter performance is considered throughout air transit manoeuvres
       
Element: Instruments, switches or devices are manipulated when safe to do so, including when the release of the collective pitch level is required, while maintaining height, heading, speed, and attitude and not exceeding RPM or power limits
       
Element: Air transit ground speed is adjusted to suit helicopter type, traffic conditions, congestion, and maintaining control, and to avoid collision with obstacles or other aircraft
       
Element: Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain
       
Element: Appropriate risk management is applied during air transit manoeuvres

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.
