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 AVIY4013B, 'Taxi helicopter'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Taxi helicopter' 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 |
1Perform ground taxiing manoeuvres where applicable | 1.1 Taxi clearance is obtained and compliance is maintained with clearance conditions and requirements, if applicable 1.2 Helicopter is manoeuvred on the ground over a prescribed track with due allowance for prevailing conditions 1.3 Speed is adjusted to suit helicopter type, surface conditions, congestion, maintenance of control and to avoid collision with obstacles or other aircraft 1.4 Turns in confined spaces are executed without incident 1.5 Adverse effects of rotor wash on personnel, aircraft, structures and trees are avoided 1.6 Compliance is maintained with workplace procedures, approved marshalling signals, and regulatory requirements throughout ground taxiing manoeuvres |
2Perform air taxiing manoeuvres | 2.1 Taxi clearance is obtained and compliance is maintained with clearance conditions and requirements, if applicable 2.2 With allowance for prevailing conditions, the helicopter is manoeuvred above the ground over a prescribed track at constant height associated with ground effect and maintaining a ground speed that allows the safe transit of a helicopter 2.3 Helicopter is maintained within the taxiway limits 2.4 Turns in confined spaces are executed without incident 2.5 Speed is adjusted to suit helicopter type, surface conditions, congestion, maintenance of control and to avoid collision with obstacles or other aircraft 2.6 Adverse effects of rotor wash on personnel, aircraft, structures and trees are avoided 2.7 The use of ram air or carburettor heat during air taxiing manoeuvres is avoided in dusty conditions 2.8 Compliance is maintained with workplace procedures, approved marshalling signals, and regulatory requirements throughout air taxiing manoeuvres 2.9 Throughout taxiing manoeuvres, helicopter operation is kept outside of the 'avoid area' of the manufacturers height-velocity diagram where possible |
3Perform air transiting manoeuvres | 3.1 Transit clearance is obtained and compliance is maintained with clearance conditions and requirements, if applicable 3.2 With allowance for prevailing conditions, the helicopter is manoeuvred at a height not above 100 feet over a prescribed track within the aerodrome boundaries that is clear of obstacles, and at air speeds greater than those used for air taxiing 3.3 Throughout air transit manoeuvres, due awareness is maintained of helicopter operation relative to the manufacturers height-velocity diagram, power required/power available margin, loss of tail rotor effectiveness, traffic movements at the aerodrome and air traffic control requirements 3.4 Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain 3.5 Surface traffic conditions are recognised and accommodated 3.6 Different aircraft types are identified and appropriate adjustments made to transiting operations to accommodate the situation of the identified aircraft 3.7 Minimum clearance of half rotor diameter is maintained from obstacles 3.8 Adverse effect of rotor wash on other aircraft, facilities and personnel is avoided 3.9 Compliance is maintained with right of way procedures 3.10 Compliance is maintained with light signals, if applicable 3.11 Compliance is maintained with workplace procedures, approved marshalling signals, and regulatory requirements throughout air transit manoeuvres |
