What an assessment for AVIZ0002 must cover

42 assessable components: 3 elements (14 performance criteria), 26 performance evidence and 2 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 Establish and maintain situational awareness of self and flight crew

1.1Continuous active monitoring (effective lookout) of all critical factors relevant to the safe progress of a flight is undertaken
1.2Situational awareness is applied to own and others’ performance in accordance with relevant regulations and legislative requirements
1.3Trends towards an unsafe situation are promptly recognised and appropriate corrective action is taken
1.4Breakdown in flight crew situational awareness is identified and rectified promptly

2 Set crew priorities and manage tasks

2.1Crew priorities and workload are allocated to ensure completion of all tasks relevant to the safety of the flight
2.2Safe operation of aircraft is prioritised ahead of competing tasks
2.3Critical events and tasks are anticipated and managed to ensure accurate completion within available time constraints
2.4Technology is used effectively to reduce workload and to improve ability to safely perform mental and manipulative activities
2.5Signs and symptoms of team fatigue are identified and actions taken to manage fatigue of self or in others

3 Work with others in managing situational awareness

3.1Collaboration with flight crew members is undertaken to ensure safe completion of flight operations
3.2Effective and efficient crew communications and interpersonal relationships are established and maintained to ensure safe flight outcome
3.3Flight crew members are encouraged to contribute to safe flight outcome
3.4Appropriate actions are taken in conjunction with others to cooperatively correct identified unsafe situations that may develop at any point during the flight
3.5Command decisions are communicated to other flight crew members to maintain and manage situational awareness

interacting with and delegating tasks to flight crew members
implementing work health and safety (WHS) procedures and relevant regulations
maintaining compliance with WHS requirements
maintaining radio listening watch
making effective decisions
managing a flight crew incapacitation event in accordance with published procedures
monitoring flight path, aircraft configuration and systems to achieve desired performance using a systematic scan technique
operating electronic equipment, including communications equipment, to required protocols
prioritising tasks to achieve safe flight performance

responding appropriately to cultural differences in the workplace
selecting and using appropriate instruments, displays, communications equipment and aids
taking initiative and responding to changing situations
using visual systematic scanning technique with required attention to detail
using flight radio and inter-crew communications
using traffic information to establish and maintain situational awareness
utilising available resources to collect flight environment information and to modify planned operations as required

Knowledge evidence

Questions about assessing AVIZ0002

What does an assessment tool for AVIZ0002 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIZ0002 needs to address all 42 unit components: 3 elements with 14 performance criteria, 26 performance evidence requirements, 2 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 AVIZ0002?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIZ0002 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 AVIZ0002 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIZ0002 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 AVIZ0002, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
