Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

Assessment must confirm the ability to clearly and promptly use and execute correct marshalling signals in a safe manner to ensure the safety of ground personnel and aircrew and to implement the correct procedures in the event of an aircraft emergency or accident

Assessment must also confirm the ability to marshal aircraft by day and night

Consistency in performance

Competency should be demonstrated over time to allow the individual to be assessed in a number of realistic operational scenarios

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Context of assessment

Competency must be assessed in the context of using live aircraft and should replicate an operational flight line environment

The marshaller should be exposed to the extremes of the operational environment where a person is under the stress of marshalling a live aircraft while other aircraft are operating in close proximity

Assessment must be conducted in an operational environment or simulated operational environment by day and night

Specific resources for assessment
