AVIY0079 — Conduct a 3D instrument landing system instrument approach

1 Select and prepare for the approach

• 1.1Current instrument approach and landing (IAL) chart for the ILS approach to be flown is selected
• 1.2Navigation system validity and receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM)/space-based augmentation system (SBAS) checks are conducted as required
• 1.3Instrument approach and missed approach procedure is planned and self-briefed or briefed to flight crew as required
• 1.4Direct entry to the approach is reviewed, briefed to flight crew and evaluated
• 1.5Entry via holding pattern is reviewed, briefed to flight crew and evaluated
• 1.6Minimum altitude, lowest safe altitude (LSALT) or minimum safe altitude (MSA) prior to approach entry is reviewed and briefed to flight crew in relation to tracks, distances, timing and descent limitations
• 1.7Applicable approach minima for aircraft performance category and runway to be used is selected
• 1.8Pressure error correction for decision altitude (DA) is selected
• 1.9Holding or diversion action if visual reference is not established, is reviewed and briefed
• 1.10Fuel availability and latest divert time is selected as required
• 1.11Aircraft systems are configured for approach and altimeter is set to appropriate QNH

2 Monitor aid signal integrity

• 2.1ILS to be used for selected approach is tuned and identified
• 2.2Warning flags and course deviation indicators (CDI) for localiser (LLZ) and glide slope is monitored throughout the approach to ensure signal integrity
• 2.3Locator beacons for approach are tuned and identified
• 2.4Marker beacon/s are tested and monitored for visual and aural indications during approach
• 2.5Distance measuring equipment (DME) is tuned and identified or global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is configured for ILS approach as required
• 2.6DME/GNSS is monitored for distance indications during applicable approach

3 Conduct initial approach

• 3.1Altimeter is set to appropriate QNH
• 3.2Holding fix is identified and aircraft is manoeuvred to appropriate sector entry position

4 Conduct holding pattern

• 4.1Holding pattern at or above LSALT or MSA is entered in accordance with specified sector entry
• 4.2Holding pattern is performed in accordance with instructions in aeronautical information publication (AIP), using the LLZ and any other navigation aids

5 Conduct approach procedure

• 5.1Aircraft is tracked to initial approach fix using appropriate tracking aids or radar vectors at or above route MSA or LSALT, to intercept the LLZ track
• 5.2ILS approach is conducted from initial approach fix with tracking by reference to LLZ and descent by reference to glide path
• 5.3Marker beacons, DME/GNSS or approved alternative fix are used to provide distance indications
• 5.4Specified altitude check on glide slope is performed
• 5.5Continued descent on glide slope to the DA is performed in accordance with AIP
• 5.6Landing runway is identified
• 5.7Runway or circling approach for a landing is conducted in accordance with AIP after visual reference is established

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 IMC is maintained

What does an assessment tool for AVIY0079 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIY0079 needs to address all 86 unit components: 6 elements with 32 performance criteria, 24 performance evidence requirements, 29 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 AVIY0079?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIY0079 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 AVIY0079 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIY0079 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 AVIY0079, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
