What an assessment for AVIY0058 must cover

64 assessable components: 3 elements (11 performance criteria), 29 performance evidence and 24 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Plan fuel requirements

  • 1.1Total en route and reserve fuel requirement are determined in accordance with regulatory requirements
  • 1.2Allowance is made for possible abnormal or emergency situation

2 Manage fuel system

  • 2.2Fuel quantity on-board is verified using two independent methods
  • 2.3Fuel quality checks are confirmed before flight
  • 2.4Fuel usage and status is monitored throughout flight and fuel log is accurately maintained
  • 2.5Aircraft is configured to achieve desired profile, best range or endurance and operational endurance calculations are revised as required
  • 2.6Work health and safety (WHS) procedures are followed at all times
  • 2.7Potential hazards are anticipated and precautions applied

3 Refuel aircraft

  • 3.1Aircraft is refuelled correctly in accordance with AFM/POH, WHS, regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
  • 3.2Appropriate precautions are taken to ensure the safety of personnel and property during refuelling operations

Questions about assessing AVIY0058

What does an assessment tool for AVIY0058 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIY0058 needs to address all 64 unit components: 3 elements with 11 performance criteria, 29 performance evidence requirements, 24 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 AVIY0058?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIY0058 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 AVIY0058 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIY0058 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 AVIY0058, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
