Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

AVIF3021B - Manage human factors in remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) operations

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Manage personal performance

  1. Pre- and post-mission personal condition is managed to ensure safe outcome of operation
  2. Own performance is monitored against workplace standards, procedures and requirements
  3. Degradation of personal condition and/or limitations are recognised and appropriate strategies implemented to ensure the safe outcome of the mission

Recognise threats and errors, and manage preventative and corrective action

  1. Relevant environmental or operational threats that are likely to affect the safety of the mission are identified
  2. Countermeasures to manage threats are developed and implemented
  3. Mission progress is monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome
  4. Corrective actions are employed as required to ensure a safe outcome
  5. Checklists and standard operating procedures are applied to prevent RPA handling, procedural or communication errors; and committed errors are identified before safety is affected or RPA enters an undesired operational state
  6. RPAS mission environment and crew members are monitored and information is collected and analysed to identify potential or actual errors
  7. Countermeasures are implemented to prevent errors, or action is taken in the time available to correct errors before the RPA enters an undesired operational state

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

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 competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the Elements, Performance Criteria, Required Skills, Required Knowledge and include:

risk management

human factors

safety management systems and:

required knowledge and skills

other relevant aspects of the range statement

Context of and specific resources for assessment

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

Resources for assessment include access to:

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

Practical assessment must occur in a:

real or appropriately simulated environment.

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate to this unit:

knowledge and performance questions and direct observation.

Required Skills and Knowledge

This section describes the knowledge and skills required for this unit.
