Manage flight training

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage flight training, in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.

It includes complying with applicable flight operations regulatory requirements, recording and monitoring flight training, programming and supervising flight training operations, and participating in interviews with regulatory authorities.

This unit addresses aviation non-technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to leadership and supervision duties flight instructors, and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.

Operations are conducted as part of recreational, commercial and military aircraft activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry.

Work is performed independently or under limited supervision as a single operator or within a team environment.

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

Use for Defence Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders, Instructions, Publications and Regulations.

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