AVIF0031 — Manage threats and errors as pilot in command

1 Recognise and manage actual and potential threats

• 1.1Potential environmental or operational threats likely to affect flight safety are identified
• 1.2Actual environmental or operational threats that affect flight safety are identified
• 1.3Competing operational priorities and task demands that may represent a threat to flight safety flight are identified
• 1.4Effective decisions are made to manage actual and potential threats, and countermeasure tasks are identified and allocated to appropriate flight crew members
• 1.5Flight progress and effect of countermeasures are monitored and assessed to ensure a safe outcome
• 1.6Alternative countermeasures are identified and implemented, and countermeasures are re-evaluated for effectiveness

2 Recognise and manage actual and potential errors

• 2.1Checklists and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are implemented to prevent aircraft handling, procedural or communication errors
• 2.2Committed errors are identified and responded to before aircraft enters an undesired state
• 2.3Aircraft systems are monitored using a systematic scan technique to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
• 2.4Flight operating environment is monitored to collect and analyse flight information for potential or actual error recognition purposes
• 2.5Team performance is monitored to recognise potential or actual error occurrence
• 2.6Effective decisions are made to manage actual and potential errors, and countermeasure tasks are identified and allocated to appropriate flight crew members before aircraft enters an undesired state
• 2.7Effective decisions are made to manage actual and potential errors, and countermeasure tasks are identified and allocated to appropriate flight crew members to correct errors after aircraft enters an undesired state

3 Recognise and manage undesired aircraft states

• 3.1Undesired aircraft states are recognised
• 3.2Effective decisions are made to manage undesired aircraft states, and countermeasure tasks are allocated and prioritised to ensure an undesired aircraft state is managed effectively
• 3.3Corrective actions to recover an undesired aircraft state are applied in a safe and timely manner

4 Make effective decisions

• 4.1Relevant, current and sufficient information is gathered to assess and analyse situation for decision making
• 4.2Problem-solving strategies and techniques are used to identify and generate options
• 4.3Decisions are made and communicated to flight crew and implemented in a timely manner in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
• 4.4Decisions and actions are evaluated for their effectiveness and positive outcomes
• 4.5Decisions, their rationale and associated actions are documented and reported in accordance with regulatory requirements and workplace procedures
• 4.6Operational decisions and actions taken to manage threats and errors are reported and recorded in accordance with appropriate workplace procedures and regulatory requirements

What does an assessment tool for AVIF0031 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIF0031 needs to address all 83 unit components: 4 elements with 22 performance criteria, 21 performance evidence requirements, 40 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 AVIF0031?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIF0031 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 AVIF0031 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIF0031 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 AVIF0031, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
