Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to perform non-pilot cockpit duties in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes monitoring aircraft systems during normal flight and monitoring aircraft systems during abnormal and emergency procedures. It also includes monitoring flight conditions and responding to abnormal and emergency situations.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to equipment and system operations of non-flying pilot (NFP) flight crew and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex operational aviation environments.Operations are conducted as part of commercial or military aircraft activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry.Work is performed independently or under limited supervision within a single-pilot or multi-crew environment.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
Notes
