Unit of Competency AVIL3004 - Assess pavement concessions
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assess pavement concessions, in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes receiving and evaluating requests for pavement concession, conducting an analysis of overload significance, and communicating and documenting the outcomes of a pavement concession request. This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to resource management duties of ground operations personnel, and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.Operations are conducted as part of recreational, commercial and military aircraft activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry.Work is performed independently or under limited supervision as a single operator or within a team environment.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.Use for Defence Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders, Instructions, Publications and Regulations.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

As a minimum, assessors must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

As a minimum, assessment must satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, which include requirements in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations. Where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that reflect workplace conditions.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

acceptable means of simulation assessment

applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

relevant materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment currently used in industry.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Receive a request for pavement concession
  • Request for a pavement concession for a specific airport is received from an aircraft operator and interpreted in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
  • Airport pavement classification number for the airport concerned is established through reference to En Route Supplement Australia (ERSA)
       
Element: Evaluate a request for pavement concession
  • Specifications for aircraft concerned are accessed and interpreted to establish aircraft classification number
  • Comparison is made between airport pavement classification number and aircraft classification number
  • Where aircraft classification number is less than or equal to airport pavement classification number, pavement concession is issued
  • Where aircraft classification number is more than airport pavement classification number, a more detailed analysis of overload significance is carried out in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
       
Element: Conduct an analysis of overload significance
  • Relevant information required for an assessment of overload significance of pavement concession request is obtained from relevant sources
  • Reference is made to pavement concession manual to conduct an assessment of overload significance
  • Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and hazard management is implemented
  • Potential impact of pavement overload is established and an appropriate decision is made to either issue a concession, decline a concession or issue a conditional concession, in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
       
Element: Communicate outcomes of a pavement concession request
  • Outcomes of decision on a pavement concession request is communicated to aircraft operator in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
  • Details of conditional concessions issued are communicated to operator in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
       
Element: Document outcomes of a pavement concession request
  • Outcomes of decision on a pavement concession request, including details of applicable conditions, are documented in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
  • Documented pavement concession request decisions are filed and processed in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
