What an assessment for AVIY0078 must cover

67 assessable components: 6 elements (17 performance criteria), 23 performance evidence and 27 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 Select approach and determine applicable minima

  • 1.1Current instrument approach and landing (IAL) chart for the VOR approach to be flown is selected
  • 1.2IAL is reviewed and briefed to flight crew in relation to directing entry to the approach, lowest safe altitude (LSALT) or minimum safe altitude (MSA) is maintained prior to entry approach, and tracks, distances, timing and descent limitations are maintained for the approach
  • 1.3Fuel availability and latest divert time procedures are enacted as required

2 Monitor aid signal integrity

  • 2.1VOR to be used for selected approach is tuned and identified
  • 2.2Warning flags and course deviation indicators (CDI) are monitored throughout selected approach to ensure signal integrity

3 Conduct initial approach

  • 3.1Altimeter is set to appropriate QNH
  • 3.2Aircraft is manoeuvred to holding fix on an inbound track and at or above route MSA or LSALT is maintained in accordance with aeronautical information publication (AIP) requirements, using the VOR

4 Conduct holding pattern

  • 4.1Aircraft holding pattern from the holding fix at or above LSALT or MSA is entered in accordance with specified sector entry
  • 4.2Holding pattern is performed in accordance with AIP, using the VOR

5 Conduct instrument approach procedure

  • 5.1Altimeter QNH is updated and set prior to approach commencement
  • 5.2Instrument approach is conducted in accordance with tolerances specified in AIP using the VOR or VOR/DME
  • 5.3Landing runway is identified
  • 5.4After establishing visual reference, a visual circling or runway approach is conducted for a landing on selected runway, in accordance with AIP

6 Conduct missed approach procedure

  • 6.1Conditions requiring a missed approach are recognised and missed approach is initiated
  • 6.2Aircraft is manoeuvred to missed approach point (MAPt)
  • 6.3Missed approach procedure is conducted in accordance with the IAL chart
  • 6.4Obstacle clearance in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) is maintained

Performance evidence

  • identifying and correctly using relevant equipment
  • implementing contingency plans
  • implementing work health and safety (WHS) procedures and relevant regulations
  • interpreting VOR or VOR/DME instrument approach procedure chart
  • modifying activities dependent on differing 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

Questions about assessing AVIY0078

What does an assessment tool for AVIY0078 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIY0078 needs to address all 67 unit components: 6 elements with 17 performance criteria, 23 performance evidence requirements, 27 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 AVIY0078?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIY0078 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 AVIY0078 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIY0078 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 AVIY0078, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
