The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.

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

The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of:

applying the underpinning knowledge and skills

identifying typical commercial or military flight operation conditions including normal and abnormal operations

designing training scenarios that require management of planned and unplanned in flight situations that involve knowledge based solutions and flight management activities that assess and resolve less defined events and include simulated abnormal and emergency operations

developing a realistic scenario plan with sufficient detail to ensure learning outcomes can be achieved without improvisation when airborne

preparing trainee/s for scenario based flight training including explaining the objectives, outcomes, application and context of the session

confirming trainee/s role with regard to command status, decision implementation and trainer assumption of control

explaining scenario based learning to trainee/s

establishing an environment that simulates a typical air transport or military air operation

emphasising and reinforcing components of competency during presentation of training sessions

logically sequencing flight scenarios including clear transition and linking of events that provide variety, encourage participation and reinforce competencies

applying trainer intervention and assumption of control where necessary to ensure safety of flight

maintaining situational awareness to ensure situations that might jeopardise safety are not allowed to develop

conducting post-flight discussion including process, rationale and benefits of the discussion

providing constructive feedback to trainee/s on each event that occurred during the flight including analysis of actions and results of decisions

assessing training delivery against the program goals, session plans and training outcomes

discussing training session delivery with appropriate personnel to determine effectiveness

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts

Resources for assessment include:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or

access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace

In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:

relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and

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

Method of assessment

Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation

As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests

Practical assessment must occur:

through activities in an appropriately simulated environment at the registered training organisation, and/or

in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
