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!

AVIY0070 - Pilot a helicopter during rappelling operations

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

Operate helicopter

  1. Adequacy of hover power margin and control limits to perform rappelling operations is checked and maintained
  2. Site inspection, approach and hover heading are determined in accordance with operational requirements
  3. Descent and approach are controlled to terminate over rappelling site
  4. Control is applied to helicopter to maintain position over rappelling site
  5. Obstacle clearances to obstructions, constructions and terrain are maintained during deployment and/or retrieval operation
  6. Effective communications with crew and relevant personnel are maintained during operation
  7. Safety and security of passengers and/or cargo is managed
  8. Rappelling ropes are recovered and/or detached, and site is vacated in accordance with workplace procedures
Adequacy of hover power margin and control limits to perform rappelling operations is checked and maintained
