applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

Method of assessment

Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation

As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests

Practical assessment must occur:

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Implement OH&S procedures and relevant regulations

Identify and correctly use equipment required to conduct pre-assessment of aeronautical knowledge and competency

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.

Pre-assessment may include:

aeronautical knowledge

skill of a person training for the issue of flight crew licence, rating or endorsement

flying skills by direct observation in a suitable aircraft or approved synthetic training device

knowledge of tools developed and administered by the assessor, including oral and written tests and exercises

written examination conducted by CASA, confirming the trainee's knowledge at a sufficient standard in all elements of aeronautical knowledge specified for the examination

concurrent pre-assessment of interdependent elements as appropriate

Threat and Error Management applicable to the units or elements being assessed

competency standards outlining

element

performance criteria

required knowledge and skills

the process of making an objective assessment against a standard

The pre-assessment of the role of a flight crew member may include:

direct observation

simulation

projects

problem solving exercises

oral and written questioning

written examinations

log books and training records

Evidence used to determine an individual's competency against a standard may show:

validity

authenticity

sufficiency

currency

consistency

Examples used for pre-assessment in flight training may be:

formative

diagnostic

summative

holistic

consistency of performance and context of assessment

Assessors may also explain:

requirements for assessing consistency of performance of flight crew standards

differences in standards for consistency of performance at different licence levels

application of the range of variables in making an assessment

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. 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.
