Elements and Performance Criteria
- Manage personal performance
- Pre- and post-operational personal condition is managed to ensure safe and effective performance
- Individual performance when conducting remote pilot operations is monitored against workplace standards, procedures and requirements
- Degradation of physiological condition is recognised and appropriate strategies are implemented to ensure safe outcome of RPAS operations
- Degradation of psychological condition is recognised and appropriate strategies are implemented to ensure the safe outcome of RPAS operations
- Sources of stress are identified and managed to maintain a safe aviation operating environment
- Limitations to personal performance are communicated to crew/team to maintain a safe RPAS operating environment
- Communicate effectively within an aviation environment
- Effective listening skills are applied
- Questions are used to gain additional information and to clarify understanding
- Information received is clarified as required, interpreted, and accurately communicated or reported with due observation of ethics and protocols required of the operational environment
- Communication is undertaken in varying situations with culturally diverse, familiar and unfamiliar individuals, teams and crews
- Appropriate protocols and procedures are followed when using communications systems during routine and contingency aviation operations
- Responses are sought from and provided to others in a timely manner
- Recognise and respond to actual and potential threats and errors
- Potential environmental or operational threats and errors that are likely to affect the safety of RPAS flight are recognised
- Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and hazard management is implemented
- Actual environmental or operational threats that affect the safety of RPAS flight are recognised
- Competing operational priorities and task demands that may represent a threat to the safety of RPAS flight are identified
- Threat countermeasures are identified and implemented
- RPAS flight progress and effect of countermeasures are monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome
- Alternative countermeasures are identified and implemented, and effectiveness of countermeasures are re-evaluated
- Checklists and standard operating procedures are implemented to prevent RPAS handling, procedural or communication errors
- Committed errors are identified and responded to before aircraft enters an undesired state
- RPAS are monitored using a systematic scan technique to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
- RPAS operating environment is monitored to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
- Own performance is self-monitored to recognise potential or actual error occurrence
- Countermeasure implementation is undertaken to prevent or correct errors before RPAS enters an undesired state
- Countermeasure implementation is undertaken to prevent or correct errors after RPAS enters an undesired state
