Elements and Performance Criteria

RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance.
Pre-assessment may include:
aeronautical knowledge
skill of a person training for the issue of flight crew licence, rating or endorsement
flying skills by direct observation in a suitable aircraft or approved synthetic training device
knowledge of tools developed and administered by the assessor, including oral and written tests and exercises
written examination conducted by CASA, confirming the trainee's knowledge at a sufficient standard in all elements of aeronautical knowledge specified for the examination
concurrent pre-assessment of interdependent elements as appropriate
Threat and Error Management applicable to the units or elements being assessed
competency standards outlining

performance criteria
range statement
required knowledge and skills
evidence guide
the process of making an objective assessment against a standard
The pre-assessment of the role of a flight crew member may include:
direct observation
simulation
projects
problem solving exercises
oral and written questioning
written examinations
log books and training records
Evidence used to determine an individual's competency against a standard may show:
validity
authenticity
sufficiency
currency
consistency
Examples used for pre-assessment in flight training may be:
formative
diagnostic
summative
holistic
consistency of performance and context of assessment
Assessors may also explain:
requirements for assessing consistency of performance of flight crew standards
differences in standards for consistency of performance at different licence levels
application of the range of variables in making an assessment

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required knowledge and skills, the range statement and the assessment guidelines for this Training Package.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria of this unit and include demonstration of:
the underpinning knowledge and skills
planning pre-assessment procedures ensuring validity, reliability, flexibility and fairness
confirming evidence ensuring validity, sufficiency, authenticity and currency
conducting pre-assessment against applicable competency standards including application of relevant Threat and Error Management
completing decision regarding pre-assessment in compliance with regulatory requirements and procedural fairness
providing feedback to the trainee together with recommended additional training if required
recording pre-assessment promptly and accurately in accordance with regulatory requirements and training organisation procedures
reviewing pre-assessment process including documentation and recording

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Performance is demonstrated consistently over a period of time and in a suitable range of contexts
Resources for assessment include:
a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulated practical and knowledge assessment, and/or
access to an appropriate range of relevant operational situations in the workplace
In both real and simulated environments, access is required to:
relevant and appropriate materials and equipment, and
applicable documentation including workplace procedures, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals

Method of assessment
Assessment of this unit must be undertaken by a registered training organisation
As a minimum, assessment of knowledge must be conducted through appropriate written/oral tests
Practical assessment must occur:
through activities in an appropriately simulated environment at the registered training organisation, and/or
in an appropriate range of situations in the workplace
