Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver AVIY4012B, 'Control helicopter in hovering flight'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Control helicopter in hovering flight' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1Lift off, hover helicopter and perform hover checks | 1.1 Pre-take-off checks are performed in accordance with workplace procedures, approved checklist and regulatory requirements 1.2 Helicopter is established in hovering flight over a hover point 1.3 Hover checks are performed in accordance with workplace procedures, approved checklist and regulatory requirements 1.4 Helicopter is maintained in flight and kept over a nominated hover point at a nominated height and heading 1.5 Helicopter remains clear of the 'avoid' area of the manufacturers height-velocity diagram where possible 1.6 Coordinated corrective action is used to counter the effects of wind gusts 1.7 Implications of unfavourable weather are assessed and appropriate compensation is made 1.8 Helicopter is maintained clear of obstructions 1.9 Adverse effect of rotor wash is avoided 1.10 Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility or terrain |
2Hover helicopter in cross and tail winds | 2.1 Helicopter is maintained in flight remaining over a nominated hover point at a nominated height and heading in cross and tail winds 2.2 Coordinated corrective action is used to control the effects of wind gusts |
3Perform spot/pedal turns | 3.1 Helicopter is turned around the mast while maintaining a constant height and specified rate of turn over the hover point 3.2 Controlled corrective action is used to control the effects of wind gusts 3.3 Helicopter is maintained clear of obstructions/ground 3.4 Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility, obstructions and terrain |
4Perform turns around nose and tail | 4.1 Helicopter is turned around a nominated point on or forward of the nose or on or aft of the tail of the helicopter while maintaining a constant height and specified rate of movement around the point 4.2 Controlled corrective action is taken to counter the effects of wind gusts 4.3 Helicopter is maintained clear of obstructions/ground during turning manoeuvres 4.4 Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility, obstructions and terrain |
5Perform sidewards and backwards flight | 5.1 Helicopter is transitioned from static hover to sideways and rearward flight in accordance with workplace procedures, approved checklist and regulatory requirements 5.2 Transition from static hover to sideways and rearward flight is terminated over a nominated hover point 5.3 Lookout is maintained in direction of flight using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility, obstructions and terrain 5.4 Helicopter is maintained clear of obstructions/ground during sidewards and backwards flight manoeuvres 5.5 Rearward movement is only conducted after visually checking behind helicopter, and height is adjusted as required |
6Land from the hover | 6.1 Helicopter is lowered on to a nominated point from hovering flight without longitudinal, lateral, yawing or rolling movements and without harshness 6.2 Confirmation is made that the helicopter is securely on the ground prior to lowering collective fully 6.3 After-landing checks are performed in accordance with workplace procedures, approved checklist and regulatory requirements |
7Manage a mishandled landing | 7.1 Appropriate action is taken to identify when an adverse landing situation has developed 7.2 A decision to achieve a stabilised position is implemented 7.3 Situation is re-evaluated and the landing is continued if appropriate 7.4 In situations where it is considered inappropriate to continue the landing, the helicopter is lifted off and re-positioned for landing |
8Abort a lift off | 8.1 Should circumstances require, a timely decision is made to discontinue a vertical lift off 8.2 Helicopter is appropriately controlled to ensure that the undercarriage is safely lowered onto the ground |
