What an assessment for AVIZ0005 must cover

65 assessable components: 4 elements (18 performance criteria), 26 performance evidence and 21 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 Maintain situational awareness

1.1Continuous monitoring of all critical factors relevant to the safe progress of an RPAS flight is undertaken
1.2Effective visual scan is applied, during RPAS operations
1.3Trends towards unsafe situations are recognised and appropriate corrective action employed in accordance with operational workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
1.4Breakdown in situational awareness is identified and rectified promptly

2 Assess situations and make decisions

2.1Operational problems are identified
2.2Operational risks are assessed and reported in accordance with regulatory requirements
2.3Potential solutions are identified and control measures decided and implemented
2.4Determined plan of action is communicated and tasks allocated to others as appropriate
2.5Plan of action is implemented and monitored to achieve safe outcomes

3 Set priorities and manage tasks

3.1Priorities and workload are organised to ensure completion of all tasks relevant to flight safety
3.2Safe and effective operation of the RPAS is prioritised ahead of competing tasks
3.3Critical events and tasks are anticipated and managed to ensure completion within available time constraints
3.4Technology is used to reduce workload and to improve ability to perform mental and manipulative activities safely
3.5Signs and symptoms of fatigue are identified and appropriate actions taken to manage fatigue of self or in others

4 Work with others in managing situational awareness

4.1Collaboration with others is undertaken to ensure safe completion of flight
4.2Effective communications and interpersonal relationships are established and maintained with all stakeholders to ensure safe flight outcome
4.3Crew members are encouraged to participate in and contribute to safe flight outcome
4.4Appropriate action is taken in conjunction with others to cooperatively correct any identified unsafe situations that may develop during an RPAS flight

Questions about assessing AVIZ0005

What does an assessment tool for AVIZ0005 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIZ0005 needs to address all 65 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 26 performance evidence requirements, 21 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 AVIZ0005?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIZ0005 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 AVIZ0005 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIZ0005 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 AVIZ0005, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
