Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
Work must be carried out in compliance with the relevant licence and RPAS rating requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA); relevant airspace control requirements; Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC); regulations, safety codes, protocols and procedures relevant to managing abnormal RPA flight situations.
Use for Defence Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders and Instructions.
Operations are conducted across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian Aviation Industry.
Work is performed under limited supervision.
Note:Where an abnormal situation might potentially cause damage to the RPAS and/or be harmful to personnel and property, evidence for assessment purposes should be obtained from other than observation of performance in an actual abnormal operational situation (e.g. through using an appropriate simulator and/or structured questioning, or termination of a simulated forced recovery at a point where the assessment of an outcome can be made).
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to accurately assess an abnormal situation and perform immediate and subsequent actions, configure the remote pilot aircraft (RPA), select an emergency recovery area and land with no injury to personnel or damage to the aircraft or property.
Abnormal situations may include engine failure at launch or during flight; a stall; an incipient or full spin; a forced recovery; or other abnormal operational situations involving equipment, instruments, control, airframe, fire or other emergencies.
