Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


Work must be carried out in accordance with workplace procedures and relevant International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and other relevant legislative and regulatory requirements.

Work is performed under some supervision usually within a team environment.

Work involves the application of established principles and practice and the use of aviation terminology and vocabulary in day-to-day communications.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate an aviation communication system in an aviation airport environment, including identifying system features, operating a communication system effectively, using appropriate protocols and terminology, maintaining equipment and completing documentation.

Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
