Application
Work must be carried out in compliance with the relevant licence and aircraft rating requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA); relevant airspace control requirements and Instrument Flight Rules (IFR); and aircraft control principles, regulations, safety codes, protocols and procedures relevant to perform instrument departure using published procedures (SID/SRD) as part of commercial aircraft activities. Use for ADF Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders and Instructions and applicable CASA compliance. Operations are conducted across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry. Work is performed under limited supervision. This unit of competency is packaged at AQF V. |
Prerequisites
Not applicable.
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1Determine applicable standards for an instrument departure using published procedures | 1.1 Standard take-off minima is determined for the aerodrome in accordance with Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) 1.2 Plan is developed to ensure obstacle clearance requirements for the take-off area 1.3 Aircraft performance is calculated to ensure minimum design climb gradient of the SID or SRD and any additional specified gradients can be achieved |
2Take off and climb to cruising level using published procedures | 2.1 Appropriate checklist items are completed and confirmed to ensure the aircraft systems applicable to the instrument take-off are operating correctly 2.2 Radios, navigation aids/systems and flight instruments are set to the desired setting prior to initiating the take-off 2.3 Track, altitude requirements and emergency procedures for an SID or SRD are reviewed and briefed 2.4 Climb to cruising altitude/level after take-off is achieved from standard take-off ceiling 2.5 Obstacle and terrain clearance is maintained while below LSALT/MSA to intercept track in accordance with SID or SRD requirements 2.6 Transitions from visual meteorological conditions to actual or simulated instrument meteorological conditions are performed without loss of control of the aircraft 2.7 Radio transmissions are performed in accordance with AIP requirements |
