Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Maintain effective lookout
2. Systematic visual scan techniques are applied at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain to maintain traffic separation
3. Radio listening watch is maintained and transmissions are interpreted to determine traffic location and intention
4. Airspace-cleared procedures are performed before commencing any manoeuvre
5. Maintain situational awareness
6. All aircraft systems are monitored using a systematic scan technique
7. Information is collected to facilitate ongoing system management
8. Flight environment is monitored for deviations from planned operations
9. Flight environment information is collected to update planned operations
10. Assess situations and make decisions
11. Problems affecting flight performance are identified and analysed
12. Potential solutions to flight performance problems are identified
13. Potential solutions and risks are assessed
14. Course of action is determined and communicated to flight crew, passengers and/or other personnel, as required
15. Tasks are allocated and actioned to implement optimal course of action outcomes
16. Tasks are monitored for progress against determined course of action
17. Plan is re-evaluated as required to achieve optimal outcomes
18. Set priorities and manage tasks
19. Task workload and priorities are organised to ensure optimum outcome of the flight
20. Events and tasks are planned to occur sequentially
21. Events and tasks are anticipated to ensure sufficient opportunity for completion
22. Technology is used to reduce workload and improve cognitive and manipulative activities
23. Maintain effective communication and interpersonal relationships
24. Effective and efficient communication and interpersonal relationships are established and maintained with all stakeholders to ensure optimum flight outcome
25. Objectives are defined and explained to stakeholders
26. Appropriate levels of assertiveness are applied that ensure the optimum completion of a flight

Range Statement

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria on at least one occasion and include:

accepting responsibility for flight outcomes accepting responsibility for own performance applying relevant aeronautical knowledge implementing work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures and relevant regulations interpreting relevant instructions, regulations, procedures and other information managing and mitigating risk managing contingency flight operations: abnormal situations emergency conditions monitoring flight path, aircraft configuration and systems to achieve desired performance using a systematic scan technique operating effectively as a crew member reading, interpreting and following relevant regulations, instructions, procedures, information and signs responding appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace selecting and using appropriate instruments, displays, communications equipment and aids taking initiative and responding to changing conditions using appropriate normal, abnormal and emergency aviation terminology.
