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 dismantle, inspect, maintain and assemble non-primary structural removable components or parts and internal fittings | 1.1 | Components are removed and/or disassembled in accordance with enterprise procedures, relevant maintenance documentation and qualified person guidance 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) |
| | 1.2 | Maintenance and/or repair requirements as defined by the qualified person, enterprise procedures and the relevant maintenance documentation are understood |
| | 1.3 | Tagging and repair instructions are accurately specified in accordance with enterprise procedures and qualified person directions for parts requiring specialist repair |
| | 1.4 | Appropriate materials, tools, equipment and assembly or fabrication jigs, where applicable, are selected and prepared for the particular maintenance and repair requirements in accordance with enterprise procedures and relevant maintenance documentation |
2. | Dismantle, inspect, maintain and assemble non-primary structural removable components or parts and internal fittings | 2.1 | Routine maintenance, repair or modification processes are carried out as approved by relevant manufacturers’ bulletins or procedures, in accordance with required enterprise procedures and specifications while observing all relevant WHS requirements, including the use of MSDS and items of PPE |
| | 2.2 | Component parts are assembled within specified tolerances in accordance with enterprise procedures and the appropriate maintenance documents |
| | 2.3 | Where applicable and as required by the qualified person, assistance is provided in the conduct of final load or functional tests |
3. | Complete maintenance/ modification activities | 3.1 | Required documentation is completed and processed in accordance with standard enterprise procedures |
| | 3.2 | Where applicable, maintained/repaired or modified components are tagged, sealed and packaged within specified 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, including the use of MSDS and PPE
using relevant maintenance documentation, specifications and aircraft/component manuals to:
for on-aircraft work, correctly remove and install components covered by the Range of Conditions, including emergency equipment
recognise state of serviceability and standard/routine repair requirements for the range of components listed in the Range of Conditions
identify requirements under the guidance of a supervisor and complete repairs and/or modifications
adjust components under expert guidance, as required
where load or functional testing is applicable, in the training environment, set up components for testing and perform tests
correctly tagging, sealing and packaging completed components.
The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of maintenance and repair applications associated with the aircraft components listed in the Range of Conditions. It is essential that the relevant enterprise procedures are interpreted and applied to ensure quality and safety standards are achieved.
This shall be demonstrated through application across a number of different aircraft components as 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:
component construction and/or operation at a basic level
standard/routine repair procedures and processes
relevant WHS practices
how to obtain MSDS
use of PPE.
Competency should be assessed in the work environment or simulated work environment, using tools and equipment specified in maintenance documentation. It is also expected that applicable general and special-purpose tools found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate, and that competency would be demonstrated in setting up components for functional or load testing where such routine tests are specified.
Ability to assess component serviceability and interpret parts requirements will be necessary 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 representative range of components or parts from each of:
non-structural removable components of fuselages, fairings, nacelles, empennage, wings and thrust reversers. For non-pressurised aircraft – entry, cargo, access doors and associated seals, windows and transparent panels
trim panels, linings, seats, cabin equipment and consoles, floor panels, coverings, emergency equipment, including passenger escape systems and inflatable slides where appropriate (excluding removal and installation of slides fitted to wide-bodied aircraft), and cargo, crew and/or passenger seat restraints
stowages for life jackets, rafts, location transmitters and beacons (including the removal and installation of the equipment where applicable).
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).
