Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AVIY0061 - Take off helicopter and approach to hover

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Take off helicopter

  1. Air traffic control (ATC) clearances are obtained and compliance is maintained with clearance conditions and requirements when operating within controlled airspace
  2. Helicopter is transitioned from a stationary position in a specified direction passing through translational lift, remaining clear of obstructions, and establishing and maintaining a recommended or nominated climb speed
  3. Helicopter flight path is controlled using appropriate flight handling techniques, including awareness of helicopter performance considerations, aircraft balance and flight control trim, as required
  4. Power and attitude are managed for flight path, departure profile and indicated airspeed (IAS) being flown
  5. Local and published noise abatement requirements and curfews are observed
  6. Situational awareness of circuit traffic is maintained and conflict avoided
Air traffic control (ATC) clearances are obtained and compliance is maintained with clearance conditions and requirements when operating within controlled airspace

Approach to hover

  1. Suitable termination point is selected
  2. Pre-landing checks are completed in accordance with approved checklist
  3. Appropriate approach angle and track is intercepted and approach manoeuvres conducted in accordance with ATC instructions
  4. Helicopter is descended to hover at selected termination point at a reducing closure rate and along a specified track on an approach angle appropriate to helicopter type and conditions
  5. Landing gear is aligned to planned approach direction
  6. Loss of translational lift is recognised and controlled
  7. Revolutions per minute (RPM) is managed within normal operational limits
  8. Approach is terminated at hover over termination point
Suitable termination point is selected
