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 AVIY4015B, 'Control helicopter in normal 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 normal 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 |
1Climb helicopter | 1.1 Adjustments are made to attitude and power to achieve an increase of altitude at normal, maximum rate (VY), maximum angle (VX) and cruise climb flight configurations from straight flight and turns 1.2 Helicopter is maintained in balanced flight during adjustments to attitude and power 1.3 Helicopter is levelled off from climb at nominated altitude 1.4 Lookout is maintained during climb using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain 1.5 Situation awareness is maintained |
2Maintain straight and level flight | 2.1 Attitude and power are adjusted to achieve a constant height, heading and speed while remaining in balanced flight 2.2 Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility or terrain 2.3 Natural horizon is used as primary attitude reference 2.4 Altitude is maintained within allocated height band |
3Descend helicopter | 3.1 Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain a descent from straight flight and turns whilst maintaining balanced flight 3.2 Helicopter is levelled from a descent at a nominated altitude 3.3 Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility or terrain 3.4 Clearance ahead and below is maintained 3.5 Air traffic control altitude restrictions are observed 3.6 Helicopter does not exceed design limits during descent 3.7 Situation awareness is maintained at all times during helicopter descent 3.8 Appropriate precautions are taken to avoid carburettor icing |
4Turn helicopter | 4.1 'Airspace cleared' procedure is carried out 4.2 Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain turns at varying rates from level, climbing and descending flight to achieve nominated tracks 4.3 Helicopter is rolled out from the turn to achieve a nominated heading or geographical feature 4.4 Lookout is maintained in direction of turn and above or below using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain 4.5 Engine operating limits are not exceeded |
5Control helicopter at any speed | 5.1 Attitude and power are adjusted, accelerated or decelerated to manoeuvre the helicopter at any specified airspeed within the flight envelope while maintaining balanced flight 5.2 Height awareness is maintained at all times and appropriate adjustments are made as required 5.3 Wind conditions are monitored and appropriate allowance is made 5.4 Helicopter is suitably controlled to ensure that it is operated within its design limits |
6Perform circuits and approaches | 6.1 Traffic patterns are conducted in accordance with AIP or local procedures at normal and low altitude appropriate to the helicopter type 6.2 When conducting traffic patterns, due allowance is made for the wind and all checklists are completed 6.3 Radiotelephone procedures are followed during circuits in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements 6.4 The approach path applicable to the helicopter type is intercepted and maintained whilst remaining clear of other traffic 6.5 Lookout is maintained during circuits and approaches using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain 6.6 Conflicting traffic is recognised and appropriate responses are made 6.7 Right of way rules are applied and compliance with the rules is maintained 6.8 Radio listening watch is maintained in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements 6.9 Weather conditions are monitored and appropriate responses are made 6.10 Fuel status is monitored and appropriate responses are made |
7Comply with airspace requirements | 7.1 Helicopter is maintained within a specified area and/or track while complying with air traffic requirements, controlled or restricted airspace conditions or limitations and reacting to factors that affect the safe progress of a flight |
