Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) energy source requirements, in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and national operating standards.It includes planning energy source requirements, managing energy source system, and refuelling and recharging the RPAS.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aircraft operational duties of flight crew and ground personnel, and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.Operations are conducted as part of recreational, commercial and 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 RPAS environment.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.Use for Defence Aviation is to be in accordance with relevant Defence Orders, Instructions, Publications and Regulations.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Plan energy source requirements
  • 1.1 Total en route and reserve energy source requirements are calculated and determined in accordance with RPAS type specific requirements
  • 1.2 Adjusted allowances are made for possible abnormal or emergency situations
  • 1.3 Energy source calculations are documented in accordance with workplace procedures
2 Manage energy source system
  • 2.1 Energy source contents and quality are inspected and confirmed before launch
  • 2.2 RPAS is configured to achieve desired profile, range or endurance status
  • 2.3 Potential hazards are anticipated and relevant controls are implemented
  • 2.4 Energy source system is operated in accordance with aircraft flight manual (AFM)/pilot’s operating handbook (POH)
  • 2.5 Energy source status is monitored throughout flight and is modified appropriately as circumstances change
  • 2.6 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) procedures are followed at all times when carrying out energy source management procedures
3 Refuel/recharge RPAS
  • 3.1 Appropriate precautions are undertaken to ensure the safety of personnel and property during refuelling/recharging operations
  • 3.2 RPAS is correctly refueled/recharged in accordance with AFM/POH, WHS/OHS requirements, regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
