This course equips participants with essential skills and knowledge, preparing individuals for safe and efficient refuelling practices in both helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft environments.
AVIW0020 contains one (1) Unit of Competency, which offers a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment, and one (1) LifeFlight Training Module which offers a LifeFlight Training Certificate. The course is conducted full-time over one day.
Participants will learn about various refuelling scenarios, including fixed wing refuelling, static and ‘hot’ (engines running) refuelling for helicopters, and operations on offshore platforms. Course content also includes how to:
Ground Support Personnel: Involved in aircraft operations and refuelling, and those needing to expand their skills or maintain competencies.
Offshore Helicopter Operations Crew: Needing specialised training for safe refuelling on platforms.
Students will demonstrate their level of knowledge and understanding through oral and written questions and practical elements. Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a Statement of Attainment in:
Recognition of prior learning (RPL)
The written assessment will be provided prior to the commencement of the course. This will be marked by an assessor before organising attendance for the practical component of the assessment. If the student is not successful in completing the knowledge component of the course they will be advised to attend the full course. The recognition of prior learning component of this course can only be offered if you have attended a LifeFlight HUET theory component within the last two years.
This policy is due to the currency issues created by the lack of being able to utilise the skills and knowledge contained in this course on a regular basis.

All assessment and practical resources are provided by the LifeFlight Training Academy.

A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is required by all Australians undertaking nationally recognised training. It allows students to link to a secure online record of all qualifications gained regardless of the provider. This system was implemented by the Australian Government in 2015, so it will show student achievements from 1 January 2015 onwards. As an RTO, The LifeFlight Training Academy cannot issue Statements of Attainment without a USI. Therefore, it is mandatory that all students supply their USI upon enrolment.
If a student does not have a USI, they can visit https://www.usi.gov.au/students/get-a-usi for more information, and instructions on how to apply.
