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. | Remove pressurisation control system components | 1.1 | System is rendered safe and prepared in accordance with the applicable maintenance manual and isolation tags are fitted, where necessary, to ensure personnel safety |
| | 1.2 | Pressurisation control system component removal is carried out in accordance with the applicable maintenance manual while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements |
| | 1.3 | Required maintenance documentation is completed and processed in accordance with standard enterprise procedures |
| | 1.4 | Removed components are tagged and packaged in accordance with specified procedures |
2. | Install aircraft pressurisation control system components | 2.1 | Pressurisation control system components to be installed are checked to confirm correct part numbers, modification status, serviceability and shelf life |
| | 2.2 | Physical installation of pressurisation control components is performed in accordance with the applicable maintenance manual |
| | 2.3 | System is reinstated to correct operational condition in preparation for testing, as necessary |
| | 2.4 | Required maintenance documentation is completed and processed in accordance with standard enterprise 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, and must include:
applying relevant WHS practices
using approved maintenance documentation and aircraft publications relating to the pressurisation control system and components being maintained
locating and identifying the components of pressurisation control systems
removing and installing pressurisation control system components.
It is essential that cleanliness requirements and safety precautions applicable to the system being maintained are fully observed, understood and complied with, as well as work practices associated with electrostatic sensitive devices.
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:
component attachment methods
connection of components and plugs
relevant WHS practices
the layout and operation to block diagram level of mechanical and electronic pressurisation control systems
handling precautions relating to electrostatic sensitive devices
relevant maintenance manuals
relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures.
Competency should be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace using tools and equipment specified in maintenance manuals. It is also expected that general-purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.
An understanding of the attachment methods, connection of hardware, and the need for confirming correct system operation must be demonstrated before undertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards.
Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to removal and installation is essential.
The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of the Regulators (ADF and CASA) and maintenance stakeholders and must be rigorously observed.
A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the elements and performance criteria of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on a representative range of components of a specific aircraft type pressurisation control system.
This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide (for details refer to the Companion Volume Assessment Guidelines).
Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
Where the unit is to be used for CASA licensing purposes the Assessor must also meet the criteria specified in the CASR Part 147 Manual of Standards.
