What an assessment for AVIY0076 must cover

48 assessable components: 3 elements (10 performance criteria), 24 performance evidence and 14 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 Determine minima applicable for visual circling for specified instrument approach

  • 1.1Requirement to conduct a circling approach in accordance with aeronautical information publication (AIP) is determined
  • 1.2Ceiling and visibility minima are determined for circling approach appropriate for instrument approach procedure and category of aircraft being used in accordance with applicable instrument approach charts

2 Conduct visual circling procedure following instrument approach, using appropriate visual cues

  • 2.1Circling procedures are planned and briefed in relation to runway position relative to aircraft as it will appear to pilot when approaching minima
  • 2.2Circling approach is conducted in accordance with AIP
  • 2.3Aircraft is controlled and maintained within altitude limitations by reference to instruments
  • 2.4Aircraft position is controlled and maintained using visual cues
  • 2.5Lookout is maintained using a systematic scan technique at a rate determined by traffic density, visibility or terrain

3 Conduct missed approach from visual circling

  • 3.1Conditions requiring a missed approach are recognised and missed approach procedure is initiated
  • 3.2Aircraft is manoeuvred to missed approach point (MAPt) and a missed approach procedure is conducted in accordance with applicable instrument approach chart
  • 3.3Obstacle clearance in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) is maintained

Performance evidence

  • adapting to differences in equipment and operating environment in accordance with standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  • applying precautions and required action to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards
  • applying relevant aeronautical knowledge
  • applying relevant legislation and workplace procedures
  • calculating ceiling and visibility minima for circling approach
  • communicating effectively with others
  • completing relevant documentation
  • determining circling area applicable to aircraft performance category being flown
  • determining obstacle clearance requirements in circling area
  • identifying and correctly using relevant equipment
  • implementing contingency plans
  • implementing work health and safety (WHS) procedures and relevant regulations
  • interpreting instrument approach charts
  • modifying activities depending on workplace contingencies, situations and environments
  • monitoring and anticipating operational problems and hazards and taking appropriate action
  • monitoring work activities in terms of planned schedule
  • operating electronic communications equipment to required protocol
  • performing systematic scan techniques
  • reading, interpreting and following relevant regulations, instructions, procedures, information and signs
  • reporting and/or rectifying identified problems promptly in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
  • selecting and using required personal protective equipment (PPE) conforming to industry and WHS standards
  • setting local or area barometric pressure adjusted for sea level (QNH) at appropriate stages of flight
  • working collaboratively with others
  • working systematically with required attention to detail without injury to self or others, or damage to goods or equipment

Knowledge evidence

  • briefing requirements for a circling approach
  • Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 61 Manual of Standards (MOS) Schedule 3 Aeronautical Knowledge relevant to instrument flight operations
  • conditions under which a circling approach must be discontinued and a missed approach initiated
  • emergency procedures
  • how to calculate ceiling and visibility minima for a circling approach
  • how to determine circling area applicable to aircraft performance category being flown
  • how to determine minima applicable for visual circling for specified instrument approaches
  • how to determine obstacle clearance requirements in circling area
  • procedure to conduct a missed approach from any nominated point within circling area on a specified approach
  • procedures for adjusting controls to optimise equipment operation
  • recall when an aircraft may descend below the minimum descent altitude (MDA) by day and night
  • relevant sections of national and state/territory regulatory requirements and codes of practice
  • relevant WHS and environmental procedures and regulations
  • requirements for completing relevant documentation

Questions about assessing AVIY0076

What does an assessment tool for AVIY0076 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIY0076 needs to address all 48 unit components: 3 elements with 10 performance criteria, 24 performance evidence requirements, 14 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 AVIY0076?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIY0076 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 AVIY0076 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIY0076 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 AVIY0076, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
