Performance Evidence

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

using maintenance publications in identifying/locating:

ovens, boilers and beverage makers

aircraft main and APU batteries (lead acid and nickel cadmium) and associated mounting equipment, including related anti-vibration aids and battery temperature monitoring systems

aircraft internal and external lights

static wicks

passenger entertainment system components

correctly connecting:

ovens, boilers and beverage makers

aircraft main and APU batteries (lead acid and nickel cadmium) and associated mounting equipment, including related anti-vibration aids and battery temperature monitoring systems
