Avi aviation Training Package 0 Case for Endorsement

SECTION 1 – RESPONSIVENESS & RECOGNITION QUALITY PRINCIPLES

Responding to government broad policy initiatives

Part A: Aviation Safety

In April 2014, the TLISC Aviation Advisory Committee identified the need for a stronger training focus on aviation safety, including risk management, across all Aviation Industry occupations. This identified need also reflected the viewpoint and policy intent (current and future) of all international and national aviation safety regulators. Additionally, the TLISC Aviation Advisory Committee directed that all AVI08 Aviation Training Package Release 5.0 units of competency, qualifications and Skill Sets be transitioned to the Standards for Training Packages, by the end of 2015 in accordance with government vocational education and training (VET) policy and direction.

In October 2014, TLISC undertook to review, research and develop aviation safety units of competency/Skill Sets for roles across the Aviation Industry, to align with existing job roles/tasks, and to align with international and domestic aviation safety regulatory requirements. This was articulated in the TLISC Aviation Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP) as item 1.17.

The Aviation Safety Project responded to this identified need through the development of an Aviation Safety Management Framework. The Framework resulted in units of competency and Skill Sets being developed for flight and ground operations. Implementation of the Framework commenced with three units of competency and two Skill Sets being included in the AVI Aviation Training Package Release 1.0.

AVI Aviation Training Package units of competency that are allocated to the Competency Field with the letter ‘F’ designator (Safety Management) are considered to be part of the Aviation Safety Management Framework. The units span aviation safety, risk management and human factors, which are considered ‘non-technical’ skills and consequently, are reliant on integrated training and assessment strategies to support the ‘technical’ skills of working in the Australian Aviation Industry.

The following units related to aviation safety are submitted for endorsement in the AVI Aviation Training Package Release 3.0.
