Work must be carried out in compliance with the relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.

Use for ADF Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders and Instructions and applicable CASA compliance.

Work is performed under limited supervision.

Work involves the application of relevant principles, regulations, protocols and procedures to assess requests for pavement concessions as part of commercial activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry.

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assess pavement concessions, including receiving and evaluating request for pavement concession, conducting an analysis of overload significance, and communicating and documenting the outcomes of the pavement concession request. Required performance includes compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements. 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)

To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.

Observation Checklist

Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice Yes No Comments/feedback
Request for a pavement concession for a specific airport is received from an aircraft operator and interpreted in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements 
Airport pavement classification number for the airport concerned is established through reference to the En Route Supplement Australia (ERSA) 
Specifications for the aircraft concerned are accessed and interpreted to establish the aircraft classification number 
A comparison is made between the airport pavement classification number and the aircraft classification number 
Where the aircraft classification number is less than or equal to airport pavement classification number, the pavement concession is issued 
Where the aircraft classification number is more than the airport pavement classification number a more detailed analysis of overload significance is carried out in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements 
Relevant information required for an assessment of overload significance of the pavement concession request is obtained from relevant sources 
Reference is made to the pavement concession manual to conduct an assessment of the overload significance 
The potential impact of the pavement overload is established and an appropriate decision is made to either issue a concession, decline a concession or issue a conditional concession in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements 
The outcomes of the decision on a pavement concession request is communicated to the aircraft operator in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements 
In the case of a conditional concession being issued, details of the applicable conditions are communicated to the operator in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements 
The outcomes of the decision on a pavement concession request, including details of any applicable conditions, is documented in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
