Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

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 plan and organise work activities involving more than one person in the case of single and multiple tasks while allowing for human factors and observing all relevant OH&S procedures.

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

The relationship between broader planning and organising requirements and service specific procedures must be clearly linked.

Evidence of underlying knowledge and skills associated with the general application of planning and organising while allowing for relevant human factors and OH&S requirements is required to supplement evidence of ability to integrate these processes in conjunction with other personnel in the workplace.

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 single and multiple tasks involving more than one person. This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry .

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be assessed in the work environment, or by use of simulated activities, covering planning and organising situations applicable in the aircraft maintenance environment.

This unit must be related in its assessment and application to all other units, particularly those that apply to the actual maintenance of aircraft.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

the interpretation of information relating to the work activity from a range of industry manuals, industry and enterprise regulations and industry documentation

consideration of OH&S regulations/precautions specific to the work activity and others working in the vicinity of the planned work activity, particularly with regard to electricity, gases (especially oxygen), oils and chemicals

the use of Material Safety Data Sheets

the application of human factors in planning maintenance activities

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

the impact of human factors on the safe and effective performance of maintenance on aircraft and aircraft components.

Material Safety Data Sheets

the types of servicings performed on aircraft, i.e., scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities, and their impact on planning aviation work activity.

aircraft reference numbering systems as an aid to organising effective work activity in terms of related tasks and inspection/servicing zones.

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.

Application of this unit may relate to:

scheduled or unscheduled maintenance

team related activities

single or multiple tasks

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
