The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria required skills and knowledge range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to plan and implement aviation maintenance activities and evaluate and report on the outcome of the activities while complying with all relevant legislative and regulatory requirements

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that maintenance requirements are fully identified and that all applicable aspects of planning and implementation are identified and applied to meet organisational priorities and minimise workplace disruptions

Evidence is required of underlying knowledge and skills in the planning and implementation of maintenance activities and in the associated compliance with airworthiness regulatory requirements

A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of the unit of competency are being achieved on a task representative of Groups to in the Range Statement This shall be established via simulated activities at the CASR Part MTO and performance during supervised workplace activities

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be assessed under supervision without intervention in the work environment andor by use of simulated activities in a CASR Part Maintenance Training Organisation MTO covering the full range of maintenance planning and implementation

Method of assessment

This unit must be linked in its assessment and application to those that apply to the exercise of Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence or Aircraft Maintenance Specialist Certificate privileges in the actual maintenance of aircraft
