Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to apply situational awareness in remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) operations in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).It includes maintaining situational awareness, assessing situations and making decisions, setting priorities and managing tasks, and working with others in managing situational awareness.This unit addresses aviation non-technical skill requirements (mental, social and personal-management abilities) of aviation 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 at time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Element: Trends towards unsafe situations are recognised and appropriate corrective action employed in accordance with operational workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
       
Element: Breakdown in situational awareness is identified and rectified promptly
       
Element: Assess situations and make decisions
  • Operational problems are identified
       
Element: Operational risks are assessed and reported in accordance with regulatory requirements
       
Element: Potential solutions are identified and control measures decided and implemented
       
Element: Determined plan of action is communicated and tasks allocated to others as appropriate
       
Element: Plan of action is implemented and monitored to achieve safe outcomes
       
Element: Set priorities and manage tasks
  • Priorities and workload are organised to ensure completion of all tasks relevant to flight safety
       
Element: Safe and effective operation of the RPAS is prioritised ahead of competing tasks
       
Element: Critical events and tasks are anticipated and managed to ensure completion within available time constraints
       
Element: Technology is used to reduce workload and to improve ability to perform mental and manipulative activities safely

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.
