Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to effectively maintain aircraft radio communications when operating remote pilot aircraft systems beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.It includes operating radio equipment in Class G and controlled airspace (CTA) air spaces, managing radio equipment malfunctions and operating transponders beyond visual line of sight.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aircraft radio operator duties of flight crew and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex aviation operational environments.Operations are conducted as part of 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 environment.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
