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 apply hand skills and use relevant maintenance manuals drawings and specifications to fabricate and repair mechanical components while applying 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 across a range of fabrication and repair applications associated with aircraft components It is essential that the relevant procedures are interpreted and applied to ensure quality and safety standards are achieved

Evidence of knowledge about the general aspects of material specification and selection measurement and fabrication should be related to specific aircraft component fabrication applications Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to repair is essential This may be demonstrated through application across a number of different aircraft components Ability to assess component serviceability and interpret parts requirements will be necessary 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 of Groups 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 documentation It is also expected that general and special purpose tools and test 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 MEAC Maintain andor repair aircraft mechanical components or parts will have fully met the criteria for Element Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement records relating to MEAC Maintain andor repair aircraft mechanical components or parts may be accepted as also meeting the evidence requirements for the Performance Criteria for this Element

Individuals being assessed who have already attained MEA328C Maintain and/or repair aircraft mechanical components or parts, will have fully met the criteria for Element 2. Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement records relating to MEA328C Maintain and/or repair aircraft mechanical components or parts, may be accepted as also meeting the evidence requirements for the Performance Criteria for this Element.
