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. | Prepare to remove aircraft electrical hardware | 1.1 | The removal task is planned under qualified person guidance using applicable maintenance documentation and enterprise procedures |
| | 1.2 | System safety is confirmed with the qualified person |
2. | Remove aircraft electrical hardware | 2.1 | Physical removal of electrical hardware is carried out in accordance with enterprise procedures and applicable maintenance documentation while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements |
3. | Complete aircraft electrical hardware removal process | 3.1 | Required documentation is accurately completed and correctly processed in accordance with enterprise procedures |
| | 3.2 | Removed components are tagged, packaged or discarded in accordance with specified procedures |
4. | Prepare to install aircraft electrical hardware | 4.1 | The installation task is planned under qualified person guidance using applicable maintenance documentation and enterprise procedures |
| | 4.2 | Electrical hardware components to be installed are checked to confirm correct part numbers |
5. | Install aircraft electrical hardware | 5.1 | Physical installation of electrical hardware is carried out in accordance with enterprise procedures and applicable maintenance documentation |
6. | Complete aircraft electrical hardware installation process | 6.1 | Required documentation is accurately completed and correctly processed in accordance with 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 enterprise procedures, applicable maintenance documentation and aircraft publications relating to the electrical system and components being worked on
the preparation and termination of electrical cables to aircraft industry standards, using:
crimping techniques
soldering techniques
solder sleeve joints
the correct identification of aircraft wire markings, terminal block identification and plug/socket pin numbering systems
electrical loom and harness installation ensuring minimum bends are maintained, cable is not in tension, plugs are correctly aligned, security of route ensures no chaffing of insulation, adequate clipping and cable ties have been utilised and construction complies with aircraft industry standards
positive identification of miscellaneous electrical hardware and/or components.
The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable into other units that require similar techniques. It is essential that applicable cleanliness requirements and WHS safety precautions are fully observed, and an awareness of electrostatic discharge procedures.
Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to enterprise procedures associated with removal and installation is essential.
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
electrostatic discharge procedures
connection of hardware, plugs and terminals points
wire marking, terminal block identification and plug/socket numbering systems.
Competency should be assessed in the work environment or simulated work environment, using tools and equipment specified in maintenance manuals. It is also expected that applicable general-purpose tools, and 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 system operation as they relate to the work 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.
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 relevant elements and performance criteria of the unit of competency are being achieved under qualified person guidance on a range of the electrical components/hardware listed in the Range of Conditions that are applicable to the enterprise. 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).
