AVIY0029 — Operate rotary wing remote pilot aircraft systems

1 Climb aircraft

• 1.1Adjustments are made to attitude and power to achieve an increase of altitude at normal, maximum rate (VY), maximum angle (VX) and cruise climb flight configurations from straight and level flight
• 1.2Appropriate altimeter settings are set
• 1.3Aircraft is maintained in balanced flight during adjustments to attitude and power
• 1.4Power is maintained as altitude increases
• 1.5Aircraft is levelled off from climb at nominated altitude
• 1.6Lookout is maintained during climb using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain
• 1.7Situational awareness is maintained

2 Maintain straight and level flight

• 2.1Attitude and power are adjusted to achieve a constant height, heading and speed while remaining in balanced flight
• 2.2Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility or terrain
• 2.3Natural horizon is used as primary attitude reference
• 2.4Altitude is maintained within allocated height band

3 Descend aircraft

• 3.1Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain a descent from straight and level flight
• 3.2Aircraft is levelled from a descent at a nominated altitude
• 3.3Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility or terrain
• 3.4Clearance ahead and below is maintained
• 3.5Air traffic control (ATC) altitude restrictions are observed
• 3.6Design limits are not exceeded during aircraft descent
• 3.7Appropriate altimeter settings are set
• 3.8Situation awareness is maintained always during aircraft descent

4 Turn aircraft

• 4.1Attitude and power are adjusted to enter and maintain turns at varying rates from level, climbing and descending flight to achieve nominated tracks
• 4.2Aircraft is rolled out from the turn to achieve nominated heading or geographical feature alignment
• 4.3Aircraft balance is ensured as required
• 4.4Lookout is maintained in direction of turn and above or below using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain
• 4.5Engine operating limits are not exceeded

5 Control aircraft at any speed

• 5.1Attitude and power are adjusted, accelerated or decelerated to manoeuvre aircraft at any specified airspeed within the flight envelope while maintaining balanced flight
• 5.2Height awareness is constantly maintained and appropriate adjustments made as required
• 5.3Wind conditions are monitored and appropriate allowance made
• 5.4Aircraft is suitably controlled to ensure it is operated within its design limits

6 Perform circuits and approaches

• 6.1Circuits are joined and conducted in accordance with aeronautical information publication (AIP) and/or local procedures at normal and low altitude appropriate to the aircraft type
• 6.2Due allowance is made for wind and all appropriate checklist items are completed when performing circuits and approaches
• 6.3Radiotelephone procedures are followed during circuit operations
• 6.4Approach path applicable to aircraft type is intercepted and maintained while remaining clear of other traffic
• 6.5Lookout is maintained during circuits and approaches using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility and terrain
• 6.6Conflicting traffic is recognised and appropriate responses made
• 6.7Right of way rules are applied and compliance with these rules is maintained
• 6.8Weather conditions are monitored and appropriate responses made
• 6.9Fuel/power status is monitored and appropriate responses made
• 6.10Aircraft approach is conducted to establish hover or to conduct a landing at the nominated termination point

7 Comply with airspace requirements

• 7.1Suitable aeronautical charts are interpreted and used to maintain airspace compliance requirements
• 7.2Circuit departure is performed
• 7.3Aircraft is maintained within a specified area and/or track while complying with air traffic requirements, controlled or restricted airspace conditions or limitations and reacting to factors that affect the safe progress of a flight
• 7.4Orientation is maintained to geographical features with the aid of suitable charts and maps
• 7.5Circuit join is performed

What does an assessment tool for AVIY0029 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIY0029 needs to address all 90 unit components: 7 elements with 43 performance criteria, 24 performance evidence requirements, 23 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for AVIY0029?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIY0029 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for AVIY0029 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIY0029 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of AVIY0029, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
