AVIY0036 — Operate at non-towered aerodromes

1 Conduct pre-flight preparations

• 1.1Relevant non-towered aerodrome operational information is extracted from authorised sources
• 1.2Information is interpreted to determine appropriate departure, arrival and landing requirements
• 1.3Special aerodrome procedures are identified as required
• 1.4Weather forecasts and local observations are checked for operating validity for flight planned duration
• 1.5Relevant radio and navigation aid frequencies are identified for use during all flight modes

2 Taxi aircraft at a non-towered aerodrome or landing area

• 2.1Non-towered aerodrome or landing area charts are used
• 2.2Local or area barometric pressure adjusted for sea level (QNH) is set
• 2.3Operating intentions are broadcast via radio telecommunications on appropriate frequency
• 2.4Local and area traffic information is obtained and interpreted
• 2.5Aircraft separation and lookout is maintained for other aircraft and for other aerodrome obstructions or hazards
• 2.6Appropriate aircraft lighting is selected during aircraft taxi
• 2.7Aerodrome ground markings are identified and appropriate action taken during aircraft taxi
• 2.8Aircraft is taxied or air transited to runway holding point

3 Perform aircraft departure

• 3.2Aircraft transponder code and appropriate mode are selected
• 3.3Aircraft position and operating intentions are broadcast on appropriate frequencies
• 3.4Aircraft separation is maintained during aircraft departure sequence
• 3.5Air service provider is advised of departure details as required

4 Perform arrival and landing

• 4.1Relevant non-towered aerodrome operational information is extracted from authorised sources prior to entering circuit area
• 4.2Local or area barometric pressure adjusted for sea level (QNH) is set
• 4.3Aircraft position and operating intentions are broadcast on appropriate frequencies
• 4.4Aircraft separation and tracking tolerances are maintained
• 4.5Wind velocity and direction is assessed to determine appropriate circuit and landing direction
• 4.6Non-towered aerodrome runway or landing areas are confirmed as serviceable for landing sequence
• 4.7Runway areas and landing areas are checked and confirmed to be clear of landing obstacles and hazards
• 4.8Aircraft arrival sequence is conducted in accordance with manufacturer and organisational operating procedures

What does an assessment tool for AVIY0036 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIY0036 needs to address all 59 unit components: 4 elements with 28 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 17 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 AVIY0036?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIY0036 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 AVIY0036 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIY0036 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 AVIY0036, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
