PUAFIR305 Respond to Aviation Incidents (General)

Developed by Parabellum International Training (RTO Code: 51786) in consultation with industry, PUAFIR305 Respond to aviation incidents (General) &PUAFIR203 Respond to Urban Fire are nationally recognised units of competency that provide participants with the skills and knowledge required to safely respond to aviation-related incidents and emergencies and the skills and knowledge required to respond to an urban fire where defensive and offensive strategies are used.

This training is designed for personnel who may be required to respond to aircraft incidents as part of an Emergency Response Team (ERT), particularly within industries where aviation operations form part of normal workplace activities, such as mining, resources, defence, aviation, and remote site operations.

The course focuses on developing the practical capabilities required to identify aviation hazards, apply appropriate response strategies, and operate effectively within a coordinated emergency response. Training includes an understanding of aircraft types, aviation hazards, operational procedures, and the roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in responding to aviation incidents.

Participants will engage in a combination of theoretical learning and practical, scenario-based activities designed to reflect real-world emergency situations. This approach ensures participants gain the confidence and practical experience required to contribute effectively to emergency response operations involving aircraft incidents.

This unit can be delivered as a standalone course or as part of a broader emergency response training program and is suitable for individuals, small groups, or organisations seeking to build capability in aviation incident response.

IMG 9497 PUAFIR305 Respond to Aviation Incidents (General) 1

PUAFIR305 Respond to Aviation Incidents is a nationally recognised unit of competency designed for personnel who may be required to respond to aircraft-related emergencies as part of an Emergency Response Team (ERT) or workplace emergency response capability.

This unit reflects the role of individuals who work as members of a non-specialist emergency response team, under supervision, when responding to aviation incidents. It applies to personnel required to respond to aircraft incidents, primarily outside of major domestic and international airports, and is not intended for specialist aviation firefighters.

The course develops the knowledge and practical skills required to recognise aviation hazards, apply appropriate response strategies, and support coordinated emergency response operations involving aircraft incidents. Participants gain an understanding of aircraft-related risks, emergency response procedures, and the roles and responsibilities of personnel involved in managing aviation incidents.

Within this context, the fire sector refers to those sections of government departments, statutory authorities, or organisations that have responsibility under jurisdictional arrangements for the delivery of firefighting and fire management services.

This course is suitable for personnel working within industries such as mining, resources, defence, aviation support services, and remote site operations, where aircraft movements may occur and personnel may be required to respond to aviation incidents as part of their emergency response duties.

Please note that this course also includes the Delivery of PUAFIR203 – Respond to Urban Fire.

No licensing, legislative, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Mode of Delivery

The Respond to Aviation Incidents (General) Training is delivered through a combination of theoretical and practical components, led by experienced and qualified trainers who maintain current industry knowledge in aviation incident response, emergency response, and rescue operations.

The course is delivered through a combination of structured learning methods, including:

Face-to-face practical training exercises
Self-paced online learning modules
Workplace-based training conducted in real or simulated work environments
Blended learning activities, such as workplace simulations and digital assessments integrated with practical demonstrations

This blended approach provides flexibility while ensuring that students develop both the theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical skills required to demonstrate competency in emergency response and rescue operations.

Assessment Methods

Assessment is conducted by qualified assessors using a combination of tools and methods, in accordance with the principles of assessment (fairness, flexibility, validity, reliability) and the rules of evidence (valid, sufficient, current, authentic). Students will be assessed as either Competent or Not Yet Competent based on their performance against the unit requirements.

Assessment methods may include:

Direct observation of practical skills and tasks during training exercises
Verbal questioning to assess underpinning knowledge
Written responses to theory-based questions
Portfolio evidence, including completed workplace documents or work samples
A combination of the above methods, as appropriate for each unit

Evidence Collection

Evidence of competency is gathered throughout the course and may include:

Completion of theory questions through structured learning plans in the Learning Management System (LMS)
Observation checklists completed by the trainer during practical assessments
Submission of portfolio evidence, such as workplace forms, reports, or documentation relevant to unit outcomes
