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 assemble piston engine | 1.1 | Engine build requirements are correctly interpreted and matched by part and serial numbers |
| | 1.2 | Correct engine sub-assemblies and components are gathered for engine assembly and their seviceability state and modification status is confirmed in accordance with the relevant maintenance documentation and quality procedures |
| | 1.3 | Required hardware and plumbing is obtained and confirmed as approved items |
2. | Reassemble piston engine | 2.1 | Piston engine sub-assemblies and components are prepared for reassembly in accordance with maintenance manual and/or enterprise procedures |
| | 2.2 | Components are assembled and adjusted in accordance with the maintenance manual and/or enterprise procedures |
| | 2.3 | Engine is assembled and components and linkages are adjusted in accordance with maintenance data requirements while observing relevant work health and safety (WHS) procedures, including the use of material safety data sheets (MSDS) and personal protective equipment (PPE) |
| | 2.4 | Reassembled engine is prepared for testing |
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 procedures, including the use of MSDS and PPE
using relevant maintenance documentation, enterprise procedures, specifications and aircraft/component manuals to:
identify the required engine build level and configuration
recognise state of serviceability of the required sub-assemblies, components, hardware and plumbing
reassemble the engine and adjust components and linkages.
Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to repair and overhaul is essential. This shall be demonstrated through application across a number of different piston engines. Ability to assess component/sub-assembly serviceability and interpret parts requirements will be necessary to supplement the required evidence. Capability to interpret inspection procedures and specifications (allowable limits) and apply them in practice is critical. The application of adjustment procedures should also clearly indicate knowledge of system operation.
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:
how to obtain relevant MSDS
the use of applicable items of PPE
WHS procedures
fault diagnosis techniques
system and component operation
engine reassembly and component adjustment requirements.
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 general-purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.
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 a representative range of the engine types maintained by 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).
