Elements and Performance Criteria
- Recognise and manage actual and potential threats
- Potential environmental or operational threats likely to affect flight safety are identified
- Actual environmental or operational threats that affect flight safety are identified
- Competing operational priorities and task demands that may represent a threat to flight safety flight are identified
- Effective decisions are made to manage actual and potential threats, and countermeasure tasks are identified and allocated to appropriate flight crew members
- Flight progress and effect of countermeasures are monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome
- Alternative countermeasures are identified and implemented, and countermeasures are re-evaluated for effectiveness
- Recognise and manage actual and potential errors
- Checklists and standard operating procedures are implemented to prevent aircraft handling, procedural or communication errors
- Committed errors are identified and responded to before aircraft enters an undesired state
- Aircraft systems are monitored using a systematic scan technique to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
- Flight operating environment is monitored to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
- Team performance is monitored to recognise potential or actual error occurrence
- Effective decisions are made to manage actual and potential errors, and countermeasure tasks are identified and allocated to appropriate flight crew members before aircraft enters an undesired state
- Effective decisions are made to manage actual and potential errors, and countermeasure tasks are identified and allocated to appropriate flight crew members to correct errors after aircraft enters an undesired state
- Recognise and manage undesired aircraft states
- Undesired aircraft states are recognised
- Effective decisions are made to manage undesired aircraft states, and countermeasure tasks are allocated and prioritised to ensure an undesired aircraft state is managed effectively
- Corrective actions to recover an undesired aircraft state are applied in a safe and timely manner
- Make effective decisions
- Relevant, current and sufficient information is gathered to assess and analyse situation for decision making
- Problem-solving strategies and techniques are used to identify and generate options
- Decisions are made and communicated to flight crew and implemented in a timely manner, in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
- Decisions and actions are evaluated for their effectiveness and positive outcomes
- Decisions, their rationale and associated actions are documented and reported in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
- Operational decisions and actions taken to manage threats and errors are reported and recorded in accordance with appropriate workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
