Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to control remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) on the ground in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes starting an engine, taxiing and/or positioning the RPAS, and performing an RPAS shutdown.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to RPAS operational duties of flight crew and ground 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 within a single-pilot or multi-crew RPAS 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.
