Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to operate a simulator in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards. Use of this unit for simulation activities outside of an aviation context is to be in accordance with relevant regulatory, organisational or enterprise procedures.It includes applying simulation operations safety, conducting pre-operation planning, controlling a simulation activity and performing post-operation activities.This unit addresses technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to training and assessment duties of simulator operators, instructors and assessors, and contributes to safe and effective performance in simple and/or complex operational or training environments.Operations are conducted as part of recreational, commercial and military simulation activities across a variety of operational contexts within the Australian aviation industry, or other vocational operating environments when required.Work is performed independently or under limited supervision as a single operator or within a team environment.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
