Unit of Competency AVIZ0006 - Manage situational awareness in aircraft flight
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage situational awareness in aircraft flight in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.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 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 at time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Maintain situational awareness
  • Continuous monitoring of all critical factors relevant to the safe progress of a flight is undertaken
       
Element: Effective visual scan is applied and radio communication, traffic information and aircraft systems are used appropriately
       
Element: Trends towards unsafe situations are recognised and appropriate corrective actions employed in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
       
Element: Breakdown in situational awareness is identified from errors or discrepancies and is rectified by ensuring safe operation of aircraft and response to situation
       
Element: Assess situations and make decisions
  • Problems are identified and analysed
       
Element: Solutions are identified and risks are assessed
       
Element: Course of action is chosen to ensure a safe outcome to a flight or manoeuvre
       
Element: Plan of action is communicated and tasks allocated
       
Element: Actions are taken to achieve optimum outcomes
       
Element: Progress is monitored against plan
       
Element: Plan is re-evaluated to achieve optimum outcomes
       
Element: Operational changes and related risks are monitored and managed to ensure a safe outcome to a flight or manoeuvre
       
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 aircraft is prioritised ahead of competing tasks
       
Element: Technology is appropriately used to reduce workload and to improve ability to perform mental and manipulative activities
       
Element: Fixation on single actions/functions is avoided
       
Element: Symptoms of fatigue are recognised and appropriate action taken to reduce its effects
       
Element: Critical events and tasks are anticipated and completed in time available
       
Element: Work with others in managing situational awareness
  • Level of assertiveness is applied that ensures safe flight completion
       
Element: Effective and efficient communications and interpersonal relationships are established and maintained with all stakeholders to ensure safe flight outcome
       
Element: Passengers and crew members are encouraged to participate in and contribute to safe flight outcome
       
Element: Appropriate action is taken in conjunction with others to cooperatively correct any identified unsafe situations that may develop during an aircraft flight

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.
