Unit of Competency AVIY0056 - Control aeroplane in normal flight
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to control an aeroplane in normal flight in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes climbing an aeroplane, maintaining straight and level flight, descending an aeroplane and turning an aeroplane. It also includes controlling an aeroplane at slow speed, performing circuits and approaches, and complying with airspace requirements.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: Climb aeroplane
  • Adjustments are made to attitude and power to achieve an increase of altitude at normal, maximum rate (VY), maximum angle (VX) and cruise conditions of flight during straight and turning manoeuvres
  • Aeroplane is maintained in balanced flight and trimmed
  • Aeroplane is levelled off from climb at nominated altitude using standard aeroplane procedures
  • Flightpath clearance is ensured
  • Climb checks are completed
  • Air traffic control (ATC) altitude restrictions are observed
       
Element: Descend aeroplane
  • Power, attitude and configuration are set to achieve descent during glide, power-assisted flight and approach profiles
  • Aeroplane is maintained in balanced flight and trimmed
  • Aeroplane is levelled from a descent at a nominated altitude
  • Flightpath clearance is ensured
  • ATC altitude restrictions are observed
  • Aeroplane operating limits are not exceeded during descent
  • Effects of undercarriage and flaps are managed
  • Descent checks are completed
       
Element: Turn aeroplane
  • Airspace cleared procedure is carried out
  • Heading is altered in balanced flight during level, climbing, descending and gliding manoeuvres and turns are performed at varying rates to achieve specified tracks
  • Turn on to nominated heading or geographical feature is achieved
  • Aeroplane operating limits are maintained during turns
       
Element: Aeroplane is maintained in balanced flight and trimmed
       
Element: Aeroplane is levelled off from climb at nominated altitude using standard aeroplane procedures
       
Element: Flightpath clearance is ensured
       
Element: Climb checks are completed
       
Element: Air traffic control (ATC) altitude restrictions are observed
       
Element: Maintain straight and level flight
  • Power, attitude and configuration are set to achieve straight and level flight
       
Element: Altitude and heading are maintained within tolerances
       
Element: Aeroplane is levelled from a descent at a nominated altitude
       
Element: ATC altitude restrictions are observed
       
Element: Aeroplane operating limits are not exceeded during descent
       
Element: Effects of undercarriage and flaps are managed
       
Element: Descent checks are completed
  • Airspace cleared procedure is carried out
       
Element: Heading is altered in balanced flight during level, climbing, descending and gliding manoeuvres and turns are performed at varying rates to achieve specified tracks
       
Element: Turn on to nominated heading or geographical feature is achieved
       
Element: Aeroplane operating limits are maintained during turns
       
Element: Control aeroplane at slow speed
  • Pre-manoeuvre checks are completed in accordance with operating procedures
       
Element: Aeroplane is flown at minimum clean approach speed and at minimum landing configuration approach speed as specified in aircraft flight manual (AFM)/pilot’s operating handbook (POH) in balanced flight
       
Element: Height awareness is maintained during slow speed flight
       
Element: Positive control responses are implemented and reduced control effectiveness recognised during slow flight manoeuvres
       
Element: Stall warnings, cautions and indications are monitored during slow speed flight
       
Element: Recovery to cruise speed is achieved while maintaining height
       
Element: Perform circuits and approaches
  • Traffic patterns are conducted in accordance with aeronautical information package (AIP) procedures appropriate to the aeroplane type with allowance for wind velocity on all legs of the circuit
       
Element: All checklists are completed and radiotelephone procedures followed
       
Element: Approach path is appropriately intercepted and maintained in a manner applicable to aeroplane type, while remaining clear of other traffic
       
Element: Traffic conflict or adverse flight conditions are recognised when they arise and a go-around is performed from any position in the traffic pattern
       
Element: Right-of-way rules are applied and complied with
       
Element: Radio listening watch is maintained in accordance with established procedures
       
Element: Aeroplane is configured for landing
       
Element: Comply with airspace requirements
  • While aeroplane is maintained within a specified area, compliance is maintained with air traffic requirements and restricted, controlled and other appropriately designated airspace
       
Element: Appropriate reactions are made to factors that may affect the safe progress of the flight
       
Element: Awareness of aeroplane position is maintained using charts and geographical features
       
Element: Weather conditions are monitored and appropriate action taken
       
Element: Local and published noise abatement requirements and curfews are observed

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.
