Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to manufacture and apply markings and graphics and apply decals to aircraft and aircraft in accordance with specified procedures and drawings while using the correct PPE and observing all relevant safety precautions and environmental protection 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 marking graphic and decal application tasks associated with aircraft It is essential that cleanliness requirements and safety precautions including the correct use of PPE and application of environmental protection procedures are fully observed understood and complied with Ability to interpret drawing and specification requirements and application procedures and apply them in practice is critical

Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to the manufacture and application of markings and graphics is essential This is to be demonstrated through application of various types of markings and graphics as listed in the Range Statement across a range of aircraft applications 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 a representative range of marking and graphic application tasks 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 workplace or simulated workplace using materials tools and equipment specified in the maintenance manuals and applicable procedures It is also expected that general and special purpose tools and ground support equipment would be used where appropriate
