Issue Date: May 2024


Qualification -
Unit of Competency PUADEFCM007B - Marshal aircraft (Defence)
Description This unit covers the competency required to marshal aircraft during start/shutdown phases, and to direct aircraft movements as ground personnel using standard aircraft marshalling signals.Marshalling is carried out under minimal supervision within organisational guidelines.
Employability Skills This unit contains employability skills.
Learning Outcomes and Application The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to clearly and promptly use and execute correct marshalling signals in a safe manner; to ensure the safety of ground personnel and aircrew; and to implement the correct procedures in the event of an aircraft emergency or accident.

Assessment must also confirm the ability to marshal aircraft by day and night.

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time to allow the individual to be assessed in a number of realistic operational scenarios.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency must be assessed in the context of using live aircraft and should replicate an operational flight line environment.

The marshaller should be exposed to the extremes of the operational environment where a person is under the stress of marshalling a live aircraft while other aircraft are operating in close proximity.

Assessment must be conducted in an operational environment or simulated operational environment by day and night.

Specific resources for assessment

Access to aircraft with engines running and propellers/rotors engaged, tarmac, personal protective equipment, marshalling equipment, aircraft parking equipment and ancillary support equipment.

Guidance information for assessment

Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.

Submission Requirements
