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 components | 1.1 | Structure is supported and prepared in accordance with the applicable maintenance manual to ensure personnel safety and freedom from damage to aircraft or component during component removal |
| | 1.2 | Component removal is carried out in accordance with the applicable maintenance manual while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including the use of material safety data sheets (MSDS) and items of personal protective equipment (PPE) |
| | 1.3 | Required maintenance documentation is completed and processed in accordance with standard enterprise procedures |
| | 1.4 | Where applicable, removed components are tagged and prepared for transport in accordance with specified procedures |
2. | Install components | 2.1 | Structural and/or non-structural components to be installed are checked to confirm correct part numbers, serviceability and modification status |
| | 2.2 | Component installation is carried out in accordance with the applicable maintenance manual while observing all relevant WHS requirements, including the use of MSDS and items of PPE |
| | 2.3 | Support/safety equipment is removed at an appropriate time to ensure personnel safety and freedom from structural damage |
| | 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 include:
applying relevant WHS practices, including the use of MSDS and PPE
using relevant maintenance documentation and aircraft manuals to:
remove and install structural and non-structural components
remove and install aircraft interior fittings
remove and install doors, door seals, windows and transparent panels
checking and adjusting all doors and access panels, including locking mechanisms
removing and installing emergency equipment.
It is essential that shoring, trestling and lifting requirements and safety precautions applicable to the structure being maintained are fully observed, understood and complied with.
Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to removal and installation is essential. This may be demonstrated through application across the component groups listed in the Assessment Conditions.
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:
structural and non-structural component methods of construction and attachment, faying surface treatment and fuel tank sealing
non-pressurised fuselage aircraft doors, related seals and window and transparent panel construction, attachment methods and sealing
aircraft interior fittings (trim, linings, seats, floor panels, and so on) construction and attachment methods
the location and attachment or stowage methods for emergency equipment
relevant WHS practices
how to obtain MSDS
use of PPE
relevant maintenance manuals
relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures.
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 general-purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.
An understanding of component handling, attachment methods, adjustment and sealing as it relates 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 routine supervision on at least one (1) item from each of the following component groups:
removable components of wings, tail booms, pylons, empennage, skids, fairings and nacelles
removable components or sections of non-pressurised fuselages
non-pressurised fuselage entry, cargo, access doors and associated seals, including checking and adjustment of all doors and access panels and associated locking mechanisms
non-pressurised fuselage windows and transparent panels
where applicable, trim panels, linings, seats, cabin equipment and consoles, floor panels and coverings
applicable emergency equipment, including passenger escape systems, life jackets, rafts, location transmitters, beacons, crew and passenger seat restraints.
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.
