Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency is applicable to all Aeroskills maintenance training pathways. It requires application of basic hand skills and standard trade practices in the maintenance of aircraft and aircraft components. The competency applies to the selection and use of hand and power tools and equipment associated with scheduled and unscheduled on-aircraft or workshop-related activities in the aircraft maintenance environment that involve:laying out and fabricating simple items from common aircraft materialsassembling items using a representative range of common types of aircraft attachment hardware for which relevant fits and clearances, appropriate safety locking devices and fasteners, including lockwire, are correctly selected and appliedassembling/connecting a range of common aircraft connectors and plumbing, applying safety locking devices, where applicableassembling/connecting aircraft control cables and applying safety locking devices, where applicablethe use of lubrication equipment and lubricants.Work may be performed individually or as part of a team and in accordance with industry standard procedures specified by manufacturers, regulatory authorities or the enterprise.The unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Where a CASA licensing outcome is sought this unit forms part of the CASA requirement for the granting of the chosen maintenance certification licence under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66, in accordance with the licensing provisions in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency should be assessed in the work environment, or by use of simulated activities, using tools and equipment specified by aircraft manuals as well as general purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations. This unit must be linked in its assessment and application to those units that apply to actual maintenance of aircraft. It is essential that all WHS requirements are met and understood. Evidence of knowledge about how tools and equipment are selected, used and maintained is essential. The ability to manipulate tools and equipment correctly in the performance of tasks is necessary to demonstrate transferability of hand skills across a variety of applications. The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of the Regulators (ADF and CASA) and maintenance stakeholders and must be rigorously observed. A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements and performance criteria of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on the following tasks: laying out and fabricating simple items from common aircraft materials assembling items using a representative range of common types of aircraft attachment hardware for which relevant fits and clearances, appropriate safety locking devices and fasteners, including lockwire, and applicable lubricants are correctly selected and applied assembling/connecting a range of common aircraft connectors and plumbing, applying safety locking devices, where applicable assembling/connecting aircraft control cables and applying safety locking devices, where applicable. This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide (for details refer to the Companion Volume Implementation Guide). Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors). Where the unit is to be used for CASA licensing purposes the Assessor must also meet the criteria specified in the CASR Part 147 Manual of Standards. |
