Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Conduct pre-flight preparations
2. Relevant non-towered aerodrome operational information is extracted from authorised sources
3. Information is interpreted to determine appropriate departure, arrival and landing requirements
4. Special aerodrome procedures are identified as required
5. Weather forecasts and local observations are checked for operating validity for flight planned duration
6. Relevant radio and navigation aid frequencies are identified for use during all flight modes
7. Taxi aircraft at a non-towered aerodrome or landing area
8. Non-towered aerodrome or landing area charts are used
9. Local or area barometric pressure adjusted for sea level (QNH) is set
10. Operating intentions are broadcast via radio telecommunications on appropriate frequency
11. Local and area traffic information is obtained and interpreted
12. Aircraft separation and lookout is maintained for other aircraft and for other aerodrome obstructions or hazards
13. Appropriate aircraft lighting is selected during aircraft taxi
14. Aerodrome ground markings are identified and appropriate action is taken during aircraft taxi
15. Aircraft is taxied or air transited to runway holding point
16. Perform aircraft departure
17. Runway approaches are checked and cleared in all directions prior to entering runway
18. Aircraft transponder code and appropriate mode are selected
19. Aircraft position and operating intentions are broadcast on appropriate frequencies
20. Aircraft separation is maintained during aircraft departure sequence
21. Air service provider is advised of departure details as required
22. Perform arrival and landing
23. Relevant non-towered aerodrome operational information is extracted from authorised sources prior to entering circuit area
24. Aircraft separation and tracking tolerances are maintained
25. Wind velocity and direction is assessed to determine appropriate circuit and landing direction
26. Non-towered aerodrome runway or landing areas are confirmed as serviceable for landing sequence
27. Runway areas and landing areas are checked and confirmed to be clear of landing obstacles and hazards
28. Aircraft arrival sequence is conducted in accordance with manufacturer and organisational operating procedures
29. Aircraft is landed and cleared from runway and landing areas
    • Air service provider is advised of landing details as required

Range Statement

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