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 perform management-related ILS activities in support of the maintenance of aircraft, systems and items of aeronautical product.

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

Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.

Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The candidate must have access to all relevant ILS management tools, equipment, materials and documentation required and must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.

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:

oral communication

written communication

populating and extracting data from databases

task analysis

applying ILS principles

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

ILS management and support philosophy and practice

logistic support analysis (LSA) concepts and methods, including:

preparation of LSA plans

management and conduct of LSA programs

supportability analysis

task analysis

LSA record population

reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) determination and application, including:

baseline determination and application

RAM modelling

reliability and maintainability apportionment

data management concepts and methods

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

individual or team-related activities

Life cycle cost analysis

Life cycle cost analysis includes:

the systematic identification and analysis of all actual and anticipated costs associated with implementing and sustaining a system throughout its service life

Costs through to life of type

Costs through to life of type may arise from:

operation

engineering support

maintenance support

supply support

facilities costs

personnel costs

Data analysis

Data analysis:

may be performed using enterprise databases and analysis tools

Data review

Data is reviewed:

using enterprise databases and analysis tools

Analysis Results

Analysis results may include:

in-service failure mode effects and criticality analysis

corrective maintenance analysis

reliability centred maintenance analysis

maintenance task analysis

repair level analysis

Regulatory requirements

Regulatory requirements may be found in:

Civil Aviation Regulations (CARs) or Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs)

AAP 7001.053 Technical Airworthiness Maintenance Manual

A technical data management system

A technical data management system should provide for:

maintenance of all applicable technical data

retention of original and backup data in separate locations

storage in a manner that minimises the risk of data loss, theft or destruction

The relevance of technical data

The relevance of technical data may be determined through:

monitoring engineering, maintenance and supply support activities

utilising user feedback

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.
