| | 1.2 | Aircraft configuration is changed and maintained to meet established role requirements in accordance with airworthiness regulations and organisational policy and procedures |
| | 1.3 | Modifications to aircraft and aeronautical product are carried out in accordance with airworthiness regulations and organisational policy and procedures |
| | 1.4 | Aeronautical product is authenticated and checked for serviceability in accordance with airworthiness regulations and organisational policy and procedures |
| | 1.5 | Locally manufactured components are produced to authorised specifications and technical drawings |
| | 1.6 | Aircraft weight and balance is maintained and validated in accordance with regulatory requirements and organisational policy and procedures |
| | 1.7 | Revised weight and balance data is provided for revision of aircraft loading systems |
2. | Manage maintenance records and documentation | 2.1 | Maintenance reports and documentation are compiled and despatched in accordance with regulatory requirements and organisational policy and procedures |

Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment on at least one occasion.
Evidence must be provided that the candidate can:
manage aircraft and aeronautical product configuration
audit aircraft and aeronautical product configuration
document maintenance activities.
Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
modification documentation and recording
weight and balance documentation and recording
role/alternate mission changes and related maintenance actions
deviations
approval processes for local manufacture of components
procedures for determining authenticity of components
cannibalisation procedures and impact on configuration.
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations encountered in the management of aircraft aeronautical product configuration.
The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required and must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. The preferred method is the records in the Maintenance Management Competency Log. Where the individual does not have a Competency Log evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor’s reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
