Application
This unit describes the skills required to review and develop new surveillance flight route programs to ensure that these continue to meet operational requirements. It includes reviewing established flight routes, establishing new flight routes, deleting non-current routes, obtaining flight crew input into flight route review and development, and obtaining approvals for changes to flight routes.
This unit applies to those working in roles responsible for the development and review of flight surveillance routes.
The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.
Those undertaking this unit would work independently in consultation with others, performing complex tasks in a range of contexts.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions section. |
1. Review established flight routes | 1.1 Check flight routes regularly against requirements. 1.2 Use risk management techniques in checking effectiveness of established flight routes. 1.3 Confirm suitability of flight routes. 1.4 Assess overall effectiveness of the route. 1.5 Identify and analyse changes/trends in effectiveness. |
2. Establish new flight routes | 2.1 Plan new routes based upon analysis of client need and the application of a risk identification and assessment. 2.2 Plan route for maximum effectiveness. 2.3 Validate the new route to assess effectiveness. 2.4 Change to new route based upon evaluation. |
