What an assessment for AVIB0004 must cover

116 assessable components: 3 elements (11 performance criteria), 16 performance evidence and 89 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 Perform a visual inspection of OLS

1.1OLS are inspected visually and existing approved obstacles inspected for compliance with their approval and objects or structures that have or may become obstacles are identified
1.2Obstacles in OLS are removed in accordance with workplace procedures
1.3Where an obstacle cannot be removed, a determination for reporting, marking or lighting the obstacle is made in accordance with workplace procedures
1.4Approved obstacles are inspected visually and checked for compliance in accordance with regulatory requirements

2 Report obstacles in OLS

2.1Where an obstacle cannot be removed, information required for calculating declared distances and supplementary take off distances is collated in accordance with workplace procedures
2.2All relevant authorities or organisations are notified of the status of obstacles, including breaches of approvals, if obstacles can’t be removed and, where required, declared distances for obstacles
2.3All relevant authorities or organisations are notified of appropriate marking and lighting requirements using suitable means of communication in accordance with regulatory requirements and approvals
2.4All relevant authorities or organisations are notified of illegal unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations in air space surrounding aerodrome using suitable means of communication

3 Report return of aerodrome to previous status

3.1OLS are inspected visually to confirm removal of temporary obstacles
3.2Relevant authorities or organisations are notified of removal of temporary obstacles using suitable means of communication
3.3Newly approved permanent obstacle/s are added to monitoring schedule in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures

Questions about assessing AVIB0004

What does an assessment tool for AVIB0004 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIB0004 needs to address all 116 unit components: 3 elements with 11 performance criteria, 16 performance evidence requirements, 89 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 AVIB0004?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIB0004 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 AVIB0004 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIB0004 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 AVIB0004, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
