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!

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

Manage personal performance

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

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 flight are identified
  2. Countermeasures to manage threats are developed and implemented
  3. Flight progress is monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome, or actions are modified when a safe outcome is not assured
  4. Checklists and standard operating procedures are applied to prevent aircraft handling, procedural or communication errors; and committed errors are identified before safety is affected or aircraft enters an undesired aircraft state
  5. Aircraft systems, flight environment and crewmembers are monitored, and information is collected and analysed to identify potential or actual errors
  6. Countermeasures are implemented to prevent errors, or action is taken in the time available to correct errors before the aircraft enters an undesired aircraft state
