The application of this unit in the workplace - the environments, complexities and situations involved - will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.

This text will be useful for the purposes of job descriptions, recruitment advice or job analysis; where possible, it will not be too job specific to allow other industries to import it into other Training Packages, where feasible.

This unit covers the competency required to safely function in the Australian aerospace environment.

This unit of competency has been primarily written for Defence Cadets.

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

This unit contains employability skills.

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessment must confirm the ability to identify a mixture of at least ten civilian and military aircraft; and to safely move on a tarmac and within a maintenance facility. Consistency in performance Competency should be demonstrated over a range of aviation workplaces to ensure consistency of performance.
Context of and specific resources for assessment	Context of assessment Competency should be assessed in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment. Specific resources for assessment Access to an aviation workplace.
Guidance information for assessment	Information that will assist or guide assessment will be written during Phase II of the Review of the PUA00 Public Safety Training Package.

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.

This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit.

Required Skills

apply safety and security practices and regulations basic research skills to identify and collect information recognise and anticipate safety and security problems and hazards and take appropriate action questioning/listening skills to elicit information

Required Knowledge

The Range Statement relates to the Unit of Competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording in the Performance Criteria is detailed below.
Basic parts of the airframe of a fixed wing aircraft may include	Empennage (tail plane) Engine Flap trim tabs, tie-down points and stall warning indicator Fuel caps, tanks, drains and vents Fuselage Special features Undercarriage Wing
Aviation workplace may include	In or around an aircraft Maintenance facility Tarmac
Standard procedures may include	OH&S regulations Organisational procedure manuals Relevant state/territory or federal legislation Written and verbal orders and instructions

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.
