A realistic scenario plan must provide the trainee with the ability to:
independently complete all associated tasks
conduct the flight without assistance
Components of competency must include:
task management skills
contingency management skills
task skills
transfer and application of skills and knowledge to new contexts
job/role environment skills
threat and error management skills
Dependent on the type of organisation concerned and the local terminology used, workplace procedures may be referred to as:
company procedures
enterprise procedures
organisational procedures
standard operating procedures
manufacturers guidelines
established procedures
workplace instructions
in Defence context, relevant Defence Orders and Instructions
Information/documents may include:

En Route Supplement Australia (ERSA)
charts
operations manuals
workplace procedures and instructions and job specification
induction and training materials
conditions of service, legislation and industrial agreements including workplace agreements and awards
Applicable regulations and legislation may include:

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:
applying the underpinning knowledge and skills
identifying typical commercial or military flight operation conditions including normal and abnormal operations
designing training scenarios that require management of planned and unplanned in flight situations that involve knowledge based solutions and flight management activities that assess and resolve less defined events and include simulated abnormal and emergency operations
developing a realistic scenario plan with sufficient detail to ensure learning outcomes can be achieved without improvisation when airborne
preparing trainee/s for scenario based flight training including explaining the objectives, outcomes, application and context of the session
confirming trainee/s role with regard to command status, decision implementation and trainer assumption of control
explaining scenario based learning to trainee/s
establishing an environment that simulates a typical air transport or military air operation
emphasising and reinforcing components of competency during presentation of training sessions
logically sequencing flight scenarios including clear transition and linking of events that provide variety, encourage participation and reinforce competencies
applying trainer intervention and assumption of control where necessary to ensure safety of flight
maintaining situational awareness to ensure situations that might jeopardise safety are not allowed to develop
conducting post-flight discussion including process, rationale and benefits of the discussion
providing constructive feedback to trainee/s on each event that occurred during the flight including analysis of actions and results of decisions
assessing training delivery against the program goals, session plans and training outcomes
discussing training session delivery with appropriate personnel to determine effectiveness

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
