What an assessment for AVIZ0006 must cover
59 assessable components: 4 elements (22 performance criteria), 24 performance evidence and 13 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 a flight is undertaken
- 1.2Effective visual scan is applied and radio communication, traffic information and aircraft systems are used appropriately
- 1.3Trends towards unsafe situations are recognised and appropriate corrective actions employed in accordance with workplace procedures and regulatory requirements
- 1.4Breakdown in situational awareness is identified from errors or discrepancies and is rectified by ensuring safe operation of aircraft and response to situation
2 Assess situations and make decisions
- 2.1Problems are identified and analysed
- 2.2Solutions are identified and risks are assessed
- 2.3Course of action is chosen to ensure a safe outcome to a flight or manoeuvre
- 2.4Plan of action is communicated and tasks allocated
- 2.5Actions are taken to achieve optimum outcomes
- 2.6Progress is monitored against plan
- 2.7Plan is re-evaluated to achieve optimum outcomes
- 2.8Operational changes and related risks are monitored and managed to ensure a safe outcome to a flight or manoeuvre
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 aircraft is prioritised ahead of competing tasks
- 3.3Technology is appropriately used to reduce workload and to improve ability to perform mental and manipulative activities
- 3.4Fixation on single actions/functions is avoided
- 3.5Symptoms of fatigue are recognised and appropriate action taken to reduce its effects
- 3.6Critical events and tasks are anticipated and completed in time available
4 Work with others in managing situational awareness
- 4.1Level of assertiveness is applied that ensures safe flight completion
- 4.2Effective and efficient communications and interpersonal relationships are established and maintained with all stakeholders to ensure safe flight outcome
- 4.3Passengers and crew 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 aircraft flight

Questions about assessing AVIZ0006
What does an assessment tool for AVIZ0006 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIZ0006 needs to address all 59 unit components: 4 elements with 22 performance criteria, 24 performance evidence requirements, 13 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 AVIZ0006?
Auditori pulls the current release of AVIZ0006 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 AVIZ0006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing AVIZ0006 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 AVIZ0006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
