Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Perform airworthiness review tasks
   • Level of authorisation to perform airworthiness review tasks is determined
   • Continuing airworthiness records for the aircraft under review are obtained
   • Airworthiness status of the aircraft is determined
   • The aircraft is surveyed for compliance with regulations and with the aircraft’s approved type design
   • The completion of any required corrective action is verified
   • A record of the review is written in accordance with CAMO procedures
   • The airworthiness review certificate is raised and issued in accordance with CAMO procedures, or, where applicable, a notice of decision not to issue an airworthiness review certificate is raised and issued
2. Perform maintenance program approval tasks
   • Level of authorisation to perform maintenance program approval tasks is determined
   • Maintenance programs are developed in accordance with applicable regulations and CAMO procedures
   • Variations to approved maintenance programs are developed in accordance with applicable regulations and CAMO procedures
   • Maintenance schedules are developed in accordance with CAMO procedures for inclusion in the maintenance program
   • A schedule of life-limited parts is developed in accordance with CAMO procedures for each maintenance program
   • Maintenance program approval documentation is raised and processed in accordance with regulatory requirements and CAMO procedures
   • Maintenance program variation approval documentation is raised and processed in accordance with regulatory requirements and CAMO procedures
   • One-off extensions to maintenance task intervals are processed in accordance with CAMO procedures
   • Maintenance program approval records are raised and maintained in accordance with CAMO procedures
3. Perform reliability program tasks
   • The requirement for a reliability program is determined
   • The reliability program is developed and written in accordance with CAMO procedures
   • Responsibilities for reliability program administration are determined and recorded in the program
   • Reliability data sources are identified and data collection, recording, and analysis procedures and responsibilities are specified in the program details
   • Performance standards are determined and recorded in the program details along with a process for regular review
   • Procedures are developed for investigation when performance standards are exceeded and for the implementation and recording of corrective action
   • Operation of the reliability program is monitored to ensure program effectiveness

Evidence Required

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 perform tasks within a CAMO associated with airworthiness review maintenance program development and review and reliability program development and operation
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit	Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria including required knowledge and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid sufficient current and authentic Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation supervisors reports project work samples and questioning Questioning techniques should not require language literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency
Context of and specific resources for assessment	This unit may be assessed on the job off the job or a combination of both on and off the job Where assessment occurs off the job that is the candidate is not in productive work then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate The candidate must have access to all tools equipment materials and documentation required The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures product and manufacturing specifications codes standards manuals and reference materials
Method of assessment	This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety quality communication materials handling recording and reporting associated with applying scientific principles and techniques in aeronautical engineering situations or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit
