Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Turn helicopter steeply
  • Airspace cleared procedure is completed
       
Element: Steep turns are performed onto a nominated heading or geographical feature, including maintaining altitude, descending through a minimum descent of 500 ft and in balance
       
Element: Perform autorotative flight
  • Autorotative flight is entered and maintained at a nominated speed in balanced flight
       
Element: Rotor revolutions per minute (RRPM) are maintained within limitations during autorotative flight
       
Element: Power recovery is performed anticipating and complying with nominated minimum descent altitude
       
Element: Power termination is performed maintaining RRPM within limitations
       
Element: Autorotative landing is performed
       
Element: Land on and lift off from sloping ground
  • A slope landing is planned and conducted in accordance with the wind and slope limits specified for the helicopter
       
Element: Appropriate slope landing technique is used
       
Element: Security of the helicopter is ensured on the sloping surface prior to reducing rotor RPM
       
Element: Lift-off from sloping ground is planned and conducted in accordance with the wind and slope limits of the helicopter
       
Element: Appropriate slope lift-off technique is used
       
Element: A stable hover is established above the lift-off position clear of all obstacles
       
Element: Land, manoeuvre and take off in a confined area
  • A confined area landing is planned and conducted in accordance with the limitations for the helicopter
       
Element: Helicopter performance is confirmed, which includes power checks as applicable
       
Element: Confined area is inspected, and a plan is determined, including an appropriate approach and departure path
       
Element: Approach path is intercepted and maintained to the termination point
       
Element: A suitable landing is completed at the lift-off and land area
       
Element: A take-off is planned from a confined area in accordance with the limitations for the helicopter
       
Element: The helicopter’s take-off performance calculated and confirmed as adequate for the confined area
       
Element: An appropriate abort point is determined
       
Element: All obstacles are identified on the departure patch and a possible abort path in the confined area
       
Element: Take-off and departure from the confined area is conducted remaining clear of obstacles with a margin that is applicable to the operation
       
Element: Manoeuvring in a confined area is planned in accordance with the limitations for the helicopter
       
Element: Helicopter’s performance is confirmed, including power checks as applicable
       
Element: Obstacles in the confined area are identified
       
Element: Helicopter is manoeuvred in the confined area while remaining clear of obstacles
       
Element: Helicopter is operated within its limitations
       
Element: Execute limited power take-off
  • Helicopter’s performance is confirmed using its performance charts
       
Element: Maximum, or nominated, power is applied while maintaining optimum RRPM
       
Element: Helicopter is accelerated at an appropriate rate
       
Element: Translational lift effect is recognised and controlled
       
Element: Direction of departure path is maintained then balanced when appropriate
       
Element: Climb is established and maintained
       
Element: Obstacles are identified and avoided
       
Element: Execute limited power approach and landing
  • Helicopter’s performance is confirmed using its performance charts
       
Element: Landing area available is confirmed and is sufficient for a safe limited power approach and landing
       
Element: A plan for approach is determined, including the nomination of a suitable touchdown point
       
Element: The planned approach path is intercepted appropriate for the performance of the helicopter in the prevailing conditions
       
Element: Helicopter’s airspeed is managed with the optimum RRPM appropriate to the power available and landing environment
       
Element: Effective translational lift is maintained until touchdown is assured
       
Element: Balance and direction of approach path is maintained
       
Element: Touchdown on the nominated touchdown point is completed
       
Element: Helicopter is controlled on the ground
       
Element: Land on pinnacle or ridge line
  • A pinnacle or ridgeline landing is planned in accordance with the limitations of the helicopter
       
Element: Ridgeline or pinnacle is inspected as applicable, and a plan is determined including an appropriate approach and departure path
       
Element: Local environment conditions are assessed the for effects of the terrain on wind and turbulence
       
Element: The approach path to the termination point is intercepted and maintained
       
Element: A terminate to a hover is completed over the selected landing and lift-off area
       
Element: Touchdown on nominated touchdown point is completed
       
Element: Helicopter is controlled on the ground.
       
Element: Take off from pinnacle or ridgeline
  • Take-off from a pinnacle or ridgeline is planned in accordance with the limitations of the helicopter
       
Element: Helicopter’s take-off performance is calculated and confirmed as adequate for the departure
       
Element: An appropriate abort point determined
       
Element: All obstacles on the departure patch and proposed abort path for the pinnacle or ridgeline are identified
       
Element: Take-off and departure from the pinnacle or ridgeline are conduced remaining clear of obstacles with a margin that is applicable to the operation

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.
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.
