Range Statement

This section specifies work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.

Safety requirements must include:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including procedures for working with rotating shafts and propellers.

Analytical and evaluative methodology must include:

diagnostic process, sequence, tests and testing equipment.

Tests must include:

engine performance and maximum speed

propeller matching

hull performance and stability water tests

hull integrity.


Performance Evidence

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standard defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

analyse and evaluate a fault in the hull performance and stability system of three different light marine vessels

the above analysis and evaluation must involve the following:

engine performance and maximum speed

propeller matching

hull integrity.
