This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct training for the issue of an endorsement in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.

It includes developing training and briefing plans, conducting pre- and post-flight briefings, and conducting training. It also includes assessing competence and completing post-training administration.

This unit addresses aviation non-technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to training and assessment duties of flight instructors 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 as a single operator or within a team environment.

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.
