AVIY0037 — Operate at a controlled aerodrome

1 Conduct pre-flight preparations

• 1.1Relevant controlled 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 controlled aerodrome

• 2.1Air traffic clearances are obtained and complied with
• 2.2Aircraft is manoeuvred to holding point as instructed and appropriate action is taken to avoid other aircraft and obstructions
• 2.3Aerodrome ground markings are identified and appropriate action taken during aircraft taxi
• 2.4Aerodrome lighting signals are identified and appropriate action taken to comply with ground/hover taxi requirements
• 2.5Airport runway incursion hotspots are identified
• 2.6Aircraft separation and lookout are maintained for other aircraft and other aerodrome obstructions, including jet blast hazards
• 2.7Appropriate aircraft lighting is selected during aircraft taxi
• 2.8Aircraft is taxied or air transited to runway holding point

3 Perform aircraft departure

• 3.1Airways clearance is obtained and confirmed with air traffic services
• 3.2Runway approaches are checked and cleared in all directions prior to entering runway
• 3.3Aircraft transponder code and appropriate mode are selected
• 3.4Air traffic departure instructions are complied with, and air traffic is advised of clearance instructions non-compliance as soon as possible as required
• 3.5Aircraft separation is maintained and wake turbulence conditions avoided during aircraft departure sequence
• 3.6Air traffic service is advised of departure details as required
• 3.7Airways clearance instructions are maintained within tracking and altitude tolerances, and lookout is maintained until clear of the aerodrome control zone

4 Perform arrival and landing

• 4.1Relevant controlled aerodrome operational information is extracted from authorised sources prior to entering control area
• 4.2Local or area barometric pressure adjusted for sea level (QNH) is set
• 4.3Air traffic clearance is gained from air traffic service and appropriate transponder code is selected prior to entry to control area, and air traffic is advised of clearance instructions non-compliance as soon as possible as required
• 4.4Aircraft separation, lookout and tracking tolerances are maintained within the control area
• 4.5Wind velocity and direction are assessed to confirm clearance instructions, and appropriate circuit and landing direction
• 4.6Landing clearance is confirmed with air traffic service
• 4.7Aircraft is landed and taxi clearance from runway and landing areas is obtained

What does an assessment tool for AVIY0037 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIY0037 needs to address all 47 unit components: 4 elements with 27 performance criteria, 14 performance evidence requirements, 6 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 AVIY0037?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIY0037 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 AVIY0037 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIY0037 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 AVIY0037, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
