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 to correctly interpret the information in industry manuals and specifications and apply that information during the performance of aviation maintenance tasks. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The transferability of general manual interpretation and use in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices must be clearly established. Evidence of underlying knowledge and skills associated with the interpretation and use of manuals is required to supplement understanding of the structure and regulatory requirements associated with the aircraft maintenance environment in this area. 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 manual from each of Groups 1, 2 and 3 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 . |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | Competency should be assessed in the work environment, or by use of simulated activities, covering the interpretation and use of Enterprise Aviation manuals, aircraft publications, process sheets, specifications and drawings applicable to the aircraft maintenance environment. This unit must be linked in its assessment and application to those that apply to the actual maintenance of aircraft. |
