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 use maintenance manuals and applicable tools to remove and install removable structural and nonstructural components from nonpressurised aircraft while observing all relevant safety precautions

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

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable into other units that require similar techniques It is essential that shoring trestling and lifting requirements and safety precautions applicable to the structure being maintained are fully observed understood and complied with

Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to removal and installation is essential This may be demonstrated through application across a representative range of the areas listed in the Range Statement An understanding of component handling attachment methods adjustment and sealing as it relates to the work must be demonstrated 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 the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on at least one item from each Group to 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 manuals It is also expected that generalpurpose tools test and ground support equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate

Method of assessment

Guidance information for assessment

Individuals being assessed who have already attained MEAB Inspect repair and maintain structures and related components of nonpressurised small aircraft will have met most of the requirements for this unit Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement records relating to MEAB Inspect repair and maintain structures and related components of nonpressurised small aircraft may be accepted as also meeting the evidence requirements for this unit in the applicable areas

Individuals being assessed who have already attained MEA363B Inspect, repair and maintain structures and related components of non-pressurised small aircraft, will have met most of the requirements for this unit. Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement records relating to MEA363B Inspect, repair and maintain structures and related components of non-pressurised small aircraft, may be accepted as also meeting the evidence requirements for this unit in the applicable areas.
