What an assessment for AVIY0080 must cover

84 assessable components: 4 elements (23 performance criteria), 23 performance evidence and 38 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 Select and prepare for approach

1.1Current instrument approach and landing (IAL) chart for the DME/GNSS approach to be flown is selected
1.2Instrument approach and missed approach procedures are planned
1.3Minimum descent altitude (MDA) is determined
1.4Sector entry to approach and holding pattern is selected, reviewed and briefed to flight crew as appropriate
1.5Minimum altitude, lowest safe altitude (LSALT) or minimum safe altitude (MSA) prior to approach entry, is reviewed and briefed to flight crew in relation to tracks, distances and descent limitations
1.6Applicable approach minima for aircraft performance category and runway to be used, is selected
1.7Holding or diversion action if visual reference is not established, is reviewed and briefed
1.8Fuel availability and latest divert time is selected as required
1.9Altimeter is set to appropriate QNH

2 Use appropriate tracking aid and distance information, and monitor aid signal integrity

2.1DME is tuned and identified
2.2Reference way-point (WPT) for GNSS to be used for tracking inbound, is selected
2.3Distance indication is checked
2.4Approach aid is monitored throughout approach to ensure signal integrity
2.5DME or GNSS is used to provide distance indications for descent via the distance/altitude steps of the approach
2.6Availability of receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) is ensured before descending below LSALT or MSA

3 Conduct approach procedure

3.1Initial approach is conducted not below the specified limiting altitude for the distance/altitude descent steps
3.2Arrival procedure is conducted while descending on the specified track or sector in accordance with aeronautical information publication (AIP) requirements
3.3Landing runway is identified
3.4Runway or circling approach for a landing is conducted after visual reference is established

4 Conduct missed approach procedure

4.1Conditions requiring a missed approach are recognised and missed approach is initiated
4.2Aircraft is manoeuvred to missed approach point (MAPt)
4.3Missed approach procedure is conducted in accordance with the IAL chart
4.4Obstacle clearance in instrument meteorological IMC is maintained

Questions about assessing AVIY0080

What does an assessment tool for AVIY0080 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for AVIY0080 needs to address all 84 unit components: 4 elements with 23 performance criteria, 23 performance evidence requirements, 38 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 AVIY0080?

Auditori pulls the current release of AVIY0080 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 AVIY0080 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing AVIY0080 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 AVIY0080, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
