Develop surveillance flight routes

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


This unit describes the skills required to review and develop new surveillance flight route programs to ensure that these continue to meet operational requirements. It includes reviewing established flight routes, establishing new flight routes, deleting non-current routes, obtaining flight crew input into flight route review and development, and obtaining approvals for changes to flight routes.

This unit applies to those working in roles responsible for the development and review of flight surveillance routes.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.

Those undertaking this unit would work independently in consultation with others, performing complex tasks in a range of contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.

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