Deliver operational flight management training


Application

This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to deliver operational flight management training, in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.

It includes planning an operational flight management training scenario, preparing trainee for scenariobased flight training, and delivering training. It also includes conducting post-flight discussions, and reviewing delivery of scenariobased flight training.

This unit addresses aviation non-technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to training and assessment duties flight instructors, 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.

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.
