Element: Radio listening watch is maintained, and transmissions interpreted to determine traffic location and intentions
       
Element: Airspace-cleared procedures are performed before commencing any manoeuvre
       
Element: Maintain situational awareness
  • All aircraft systems are monitored using a systematic scan technique
       
Element: Information is collected to facilitate ongoing system management
       
Element: Flight environment is monitored for deviations from planned operations
       
Element: Flight environment information is collected to update planned operations
       
Element: Assess situations and make decisions
  • Problems are identified
       
Element: Solutions are identified
       
Element: Solutions and risks are assessed
       
Element: A course of action is decided on
       
Element: Plans of action are communicated as appropriate
       
Element: Tasks are allocated for action as appropriate
       
Element: Actions are taken to achieve optimum outcomes for the operation
       
Element: Progress is monitored against plan
       
Element: Plan is re-evaluated to achieve optimum outcomes
       
Element: Recognise and manage threats
  • Relevant environmental or operational threats are identified that are likely to affect the safety of the flight
       
Element: Competing priorities and demands that may represent a threat to the safety of the flight are identified
       
Element: Countermeasures to manage threats are developed and implemented
       
Element: Flight progress is monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome, or actions are modified when a safe outcome is not assured
       
Element: Prepare documents and flight plan
  • Relevant navigation charts are selected and prepared for the intended flight
       
Element: A suitable route and altitude are selected considering weather, terrain, airspace, Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) and alternate landing areas
       
Element: Meteorological forecasts, NOTAMs and operational information applicable to the planned flight are obtained and interpreted
       
Element: Planned flight is determined if it can be conducted under the applicable flight rules and taking account of the beginning and end of daylight times
       
Element: Except for the Restricted Pilot's Licence navigation endorsement and the Private Pilot License, critical point (CP) and point of no return (PNR) locations are calculated and documented
       
Element: A flight plan to the planned destination and alternates are completed
       
Element: Suitable flight notification for search and rescue (SAR) purposes are lodged
       
Element: Conduct pre-flight actions and procedures
  • All required pre-flight administration documentation is completed
       
Element: Information contained in the required pre-flight operational documentation is obtained, interpreted and applied
       
Element: Special aerodrome procedures are identified
       
Element: All relevant radio and navigation aid facilities to be used during the flight are identified as applicable
       
Element: The suitability of the current and forecast weather conditions for the proposed flight is determined
       
Element: Weight and balance, in-ground and out-of-ground effect hover performance (rotorcraft only), take-off and landing performance, and fuel requirements are calculated based on environmental and operational conditions using the aircraft documents
       
Element: Aircraft serviceability is determined for the proposed flight
       
Element: Comply with airspace procedures while navigating
  • Airspace restrictions and dimensions applicable to the flight are identified
       
Element: Air traffic clearances are obtained and complied with, as applicable
       
Element: Airspace procedures applicable to the airspace classification are complied with throughout the flight
       
Element: Conduct departure procedures
  • Cockpit is organised to ensure charts, documentation and navigational calculator are accessible from the control seat
       
Element: All departure procedures, clearances and noise abatement requirements are complied with
       
Element: Planned track on departure is established within 5 nautical miles (nm) of airfield or alternative procedure applied, if required
       
Element: Estimated time of arrival (ETA) for first waypoint is calculated
       
Element: Navigate aircraft en route
  • A navigation cycle is maintained that ensures accurate tracking, and track correctional techniques are applied to re-establish track prior to waypoint or destination
       
Element: Heading to achieve a nominated track is maintained
       
Element: ETAs (±2 minutes) for waypoint or destination is maintained and revised
       
Element: Track is maintained in accordance with published flight path tolerances in controlled airspace
       
Element: Navigation is performed using accepted map-reading techniques
       
Element: Navigation and fuel log is maintained to monitor tracking, ETAs and fuel status
       
Element: Appropriate techniques are used to obtain a positive fix at suitable intervals
       
Element: Awareness of route, en route terrain, en route and destination weather is maintained, and changing weather conditions are reacted to correctly
       
Element: Pre-descent and turning point checks are performed
       
Element: Appropriate radio communication is maintained and listening watch with Air Traffic Service and other aircraft conducted if radio is fitted and used
       
Element: Aircraft is configured as required for environmental and operational conditions including turbulence, holding and maximum range
       
Element: Awareness of search and rescue times (SARTIME) is maintained and revised as required
       
Element: Aircraft systems are monitored, fuel and engine are managed to ensure aircraft is operated to achieve flight plan objectives

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.
