Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to conduct a 2D instrument approach using distance measuring equipment (DME) or global navigation satellite system (GNSS) procedures, in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and national operating standards. It includes selecting and preparing for approach, using appropriate tracking aid and distance information, and monitoring aid signal integrity. It also includes conducting approach and missed approach procedures.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aircraft operational duties of flight crew, 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 within a single-pilot or multi-crew 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.
