Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to assess pavement concessions, including receiving and evaluating request for pavement concession, conducting an analysis of overload significance, and communicating and documenting the outcomes of the pavement concession request. Required performance includes compliance with all relevant regulatory requirements. Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1Receive a request for pavement concession
- 1.1 Request for a pavement concession for a specific airport is received from an aircraft operator and interpreted in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
- 1.2 Airport pavement classification number for the airport concerned is established through reference to the En Route Supplement Australia (ERSA)
2Evaluate a request for pavement concession
- 2.1 Specifications for the aircraft concerned are accessed and interpreted to establish the aircraft classification number
- 2.2 A comparison is made between the airport pavement classification number and the aircraft classification number
- 2.3 Where the aircraft classification number is less than or equal to airport pavement classification number, the pavement concession is issued
- 2.4 Where the aircraft classification number is more than the airport pavement classification number a more detailed analysis of overload significance is carried out in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
3Conduct an analysis of overload significance
- 3.1 Relevant information required for an assessment of overload significance of the pavement concession request is obtained from relevant sources
- 3.2 Reference is made to the pavement concession manual to conduct an assessment of the overload significance
- 3.3 The potential impact of the pavement overload is established and an appropriate decision is made to either issue a concession, decline a concession or issue a conditional concession in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
4Communicate outcomes of a pavement concession request
- 4.1 The outcomes of the decision on a pavement concession request is communicated to the aircraft operator in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
- 4.2 In the case of a conditional concession being issued, details of the applicable conditions are communicated to the operator in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
5Document the outcomes of a pavement concession request
- 5.1 The outcomes of the decision on a pavement concession request, including details of any applicable conditions, is documented in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
