DFE7 Floating hull

 1.                     Unit description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate an aircraft that has a floating hull on the water and in the air during normal and abnormal operations.

 1.                     Elements and performance criteria
     1.               DFE7.1 – Extract, interpret, calculate and apply flight performance information
            1.        extract approved flight performance information from AFM or POH, interpret the information and apply the information to:
                   1.          calculate aircraft take-off and landing weight and take-off and landing performance; and
                   2.         calculate aircraft performance during normal flight operations; and
                   3.       determine meteorological conditions, tide state, current flow and water state; and
            2.        use the information to plan water operations.
     2.               DFE7.2 – Conduct pre-flight inspection of floating hull aircraft
            1.        conduct pre-flight inspection in accordance with AFM or POH, and identifies and determines availability and serviceability of equipment required for marine operations ensuring:
                   1.          serviceability of aircraft;
                   2.         suitability and serviceability of equipment carried for amphibious aircraft type and flight circumstances;
            2.        ensure hull and floats do not contain excessive water;
            3.         ensure removal of all aircraft locking devices;
            4.        inspect mooring lines, bumpers, anchors, life jackets and rafts for condition and stowage when appropriate.
     3.               DFE7.3 – Operate floating hull aircraft on water
            1.        conduct pre-flight passenger briefing, including fitment and use of personal flotation devices, evacuation procedures and water survival procedures;
            2.        start and stop engines on the water and maintains control of the aircraft;
            3.         disconnect and manoeuvre aircraft from a mooring without assistance, while maintaining control of the aircraft and passengers;
            4.        obtain taxi clearance when required, and taxis (manoeuvres)
