Qualification -
Unit of Competency AVIY0071 - Pilot a helicopter during hoisting operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to pilot a helicopter during hoisting operations in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes planning hoisting operations, conducting pre-flight briefings for hoisting operations, and operating a helicopter during hoisting operations. It also includes managing abnormal and emergency situations during hoisting operations, and conducting post-flight briefings for hoisting operations.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: Plan hoisting operations
  • Tasking requirements are identified
       
Element: Crew and equipment required to ensure safe achievement of task are determined
       
Element: Helicopter performance data is interpreted and calculated to ensure suitability of aircraft for operations
       
Element: Transit, hoisting operation communications and recovery are planned in accordance with workplace procedures
       
Element: Operations at hoist site, including consideration of obstructions, terrain and any factors that may adversely affect lift, are planned
       
Element: Abnormal and emergency hoisting situation contingency procedures are planned
       
Element: Conduct pre-flight briefings
  • Hoisting operational requirements are briefed and confirmed with relevant personnel
       
Element: Location, terrain features (sea state as required) and forecast weather conditions are obtained and confirmed with relevant personnel
       
Element: Timings, route/s, airspeeds and altitudes are confirmed with relevant personnel
       
Element: Relevant personnel are briefed about pilot, crew and hoisting personnel responsibilities and communication procedures
       
Element: Abnormal and emergency hoisting situation contingency procedures are briefed
       
Element: Operate a helicopter during hoisting operations
  • Adequacy of hover power margin and control limits to perform hoisting operations is checked and maintained
       
Element: Site inspection, approach and hover heading are determined in accordance with operational requirements
       
Element: Descent and approach are controlled to terminate over hoist site
       
Element: Control is applied to helicopter to maintain position over hoist site
       
Element: Obstacle clearances to obstructions, constructions and terrain are maintained during deployment and retrieval operation
       
Element: Effective communications with crew and relevant personnel are maintained during operation
       
Element: Safety and security of passengers and/or cargo is managed
       
Element: Hoist cable is recovered and stowed, and site is vacated in accordance with workplace procedures
       
Element: Manage abnormal and emergency situations
  • Helicopter control is maintained
       
Element: Abnormal and/or emergency situations are identified and managed
       
Element: Hoist cargo/personnel are safely jettisoned (as required) when flight safety or hover stability is compromised
       
Element: Conduct post-flight briefings
  • Operating procedures and flight outcomes are reviewed and analysed
       
Element: Effectiveness, efficiency and performance of equipment are analysed and reported
       
Element: Inspection, servicing and stowage of hoist equipment are organised/confirmed

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.
