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 apply hand skills and use maintenance publications to inspect and repair aircraft cabincockpit nonprimary structure metallic and nonmetallic 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 into other areas that require similar techniques It is essential that procedures take into account all safety precautions and quality requirements standards and practices and processes associated with assembly Evidence of knowledge about enterprise procedures relating to routine basic repair techniques and the use of the standard repair manualpractices in a range of situations will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to plan and undertake component repair 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 on a representative range of components inspecting for damage and performing repair tasks listed in Groups to 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 by aircraft maintenance manuals It is also expected that general purpose tools test and ground support equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Note	Range statements listed below are numbered to facilitate specification of the assessment requirements included in the Evidence Guide
Metallic and/or non-metallic component repair	Metallic and/or non-metallic components may include: aircraft crew and passenger seats, interior trim panels, including sidewalls, galleys, furnishings and partitions, passenger modules/pods, toilets, roof panels, overhead luggage stowage bins, non-structural floor panels and cargo compartment lining Types of damage may include: corrosion, cracking and impact damage to metallic components delamination, cracking and impact damage to non-metallic components Metallic component repairs may include: 1. Removing corrosion by chemical and mechanical methods 2. Restoring protective coatings 3. Freehand precision hole generation 4. Removing and installing fastening devices 5.
