AVIY0033 — Operate aircraft using aircraft flight instruments

1 Establish serviceability of flight instruments and instrument power sources

• 1.1Serviceability of flight instrument, pitot/static system and instrument power sources is determined before flight
• 1.2Functional checks of flight and navigational instruments are performed before departure

2 Operate aircraft using full instrument procedures

• 2.1Flight instrument and instrument power sources are monitored and pilot cautions, warnings and indications reacted to in accordance with full instrument procedures
• 2.2Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve straight and level performance during normal cruise
• 2.3Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve nominated climb performance
• 2.4Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve nominated descent performance
• 2.5Power, attitude and bank during climb, descent and straight and level flight are set and maintained by reference to full instrument panel to achieve rate one turns onto a nominated heading
• 2.6Aircraft is balanced and trimmed to maintain nominated aircraft altitude, heading, speed and/or climb/descent performance within flight tolerances
• 2.7Aircraft is levelled at nominated altitude, from climb or descent during straight or turning flight

3 Recover from unusual attitudes using full instrument procedures

• 3.1Unusual attitudes and upset situations are recognised and identified
• 3.2Controlled flight is resumed by reference to flight instruments using a full instrument panel
• 3.3Straight and level attitude is achieved without excessive oscillations at the horizon
• 3.4Aircraft is recovered to above lowest safe altitude (LSALT)

4 Operate aircraft using limited instrument procedures

• 4.1Flight instrument and instrument power sources are monitored and pilot cautions, warnings and indications reacted to in accordance with limited instrument procedures
• 4.2Aircraft is transitioned from full instrument operating procedures to limited instrument operating procedures while maintaining safe flight profiles
• 4.3Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve straight and level performance during normal cruise
• 4.4Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve nominated climb performance
• 4.5Power and attitude are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve nominated descent performance
• 4.6Power, attitude and bank during climb, descent, straight and level flight are set and maintained by reference to limited instrument panel to achieve rate one turns onto a nominated heading
• 4.7Aircraft is balanced and trimmed to maintain nominated aircraft altitude, heading, speed and/or climb/descent performance within flight tolerances
• 4.8Aircraft is levelled at nominated altitude, from climb or descent during straight or turning flight

5 Recover from unusual attitudes using limited instrument procedures

• 5.1Unusual attitudes and upset situations are recognised and identified
• 5.2Controlled flight is resumed by reference to flight instruments using a limited instrument panel
• 5.3Straight and level attitude is achieved without excessive oscillations at the horizon
• 5.4Aircraft is recovered to above LSALT

6 Re-establish visual flight

• 6.1Aircraft is transitioned from visual flight conditions to instrument flight conditions while aircraft control is maintained
• 6.2Aircraft is manoeuvred to re-establish visual flight
• 6.3Plan is implemented to ensure flight continues within visual meteorological conditions (VMC)

7 Perform steep turns

• 7.1Power, attitude and bank are set to maintain level flight by reference to full instrument panel that achieves a steep turn
• 7.2Nominated angle of bank is maintained
• 7.3Aircraft turn is exited onto nominated heading
• 7.4Aircraft is balanced and trimmed to maintain nominated aircraft altitude, heading, speed and/or climb/descent performance within flight tolerances

What does an assessment tool for AVIY0033 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIY0033 needs to address all 85 unit components: 7 elements with 32 performance criteria, 27 performance evidence requirements, 26 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 AVIY0033?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIY0033 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 AVIY0033 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIY0033 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 AVIY0033, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
