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 inspect test and troubleshoot a range of electronic instrument display systems and components that is representative of the scope of the listed variables in accordance with relevant maintenance manual instructions while applying all relevant OHS procedures and standard processes

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

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of inspection testing and troubleshooting applications including the timely involvement of supervisors or other trades associated with aircraft electronic instrument display systems and their components It is essential that system testing procedures cleanliness requirements and safety precautions applicable to the system being maintained are fully observed understood and complied with Ability to interpret inspection procedures and specifications allowable limits and apply them in practice is critical

Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to inspection testing and troubleshooting is essential This may be demonstrated through application across a range of aircraft instrument and display systems where display systems are applicable to the enterprise listed in the Range Statement The application of testing procedures should clearly indicate knowledge of system operation the relationship of individual components and the links with other systems if applicable within the limits of the aircraftsystem fault finding guide before undertaking any action The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards

A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of this unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on a system and on at least one major system component of each Groups to Group may be omitted if not applicable to the enterprise as listed in the Range Statement This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or where appropriate an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide

Context of and specific resources for assessment

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
