List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. | Provide mechanical systems advice | 1.1 | Independent technical input in the maintenance, repair and modification design relating to aircraft mechanical systems and structures is provided when requested by maintenance personnel, senior maintenance managers and higher technical authorities |
| | 1.2 | Aircraft mechanical systems knowledge is utilised to determine aircraft airworthiness |
| | 1.3 | Knowledge of aircraft structures is utilised to determine aircraft airworthiness |
2. | Provide avionic systems advice | 2.1 | Independent technical input in the maintenance and modification design for aircraft avionic systems is provided when requested by maintenance personnel, senior maintenance managers and higher technical authorities |
| | 2.2 | Aircraft avionic systems knowledge is utilised to determine aircraft airworthiness |
3. | Conduct/advise an aircraft recovery | 3.1 | Battle/incident damage and operational capability of an aircraft is evaluated |
| | 3.2 | Repair methods and/or limits are determined |
| | 3.3 | An aircraft recovery is planned |
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, and must include:
oral and written communication
management
damage assessment, including repair scheme development and/or extension
development of modification proposals
review of maintenance requirements.
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 proposal development and processing
repair scheme proposal, including equivalent strength repair design and justification for extension of an approved repair scheme
management processes for monitoring and reviewing maintenance requirements
aircraft structure
aircraft mechanical systems
aircraft avionic systems
aircraft recovery procedures
work health and safety (WHS), equity, fraud and ethics.
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 when providing engineering advice in the modification, maintenance and management of aircraft systems in the ADF technical airworthiness regulatory system.
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).
