Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and the use of maintenance documentation/publications in the removal and installation of advanced aircraft electrical alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) system components of fixed and rotary wing aircraft that have both AC and DC electrical systems during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is part of the Avionic Certificate IV (Aircraft Maintenance Stream) training pathway, and of the Mechanical Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licensing pathway. 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 simulated work environment, using tools and equipment specified in maintenance manuals. It is also expected that general-purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine maintenance situations would be used where appropriate. An understanding of the attachment methods, connection of hardware, and the need for adjustment or rigging and system operation as they relate to the work must be demonstrated before undertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards. 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 at least one (1) component from: DC and AC power generation and distribution system components, including generators and related multi-sourced DC power generation, starter generators alternators and regulation, and control and distribution system components transformer rectifier units and/or inverters batteries and related bus tie or interlock system components and battery temperature monitoring systems motors and actuators components of gas turbine and/or piston engine ignition and starting systems (may be omitted where not applicable to the enterprise) external/internal lights and on three (3) components that are applicable to the enterprise from: electrical components of specific electrical systems, such as air cycle air conditioning, combustion heaters, equipment cooling, anti-icing and de-icing, landing gear, anti-skid, flight control, master and central warning, fuel storage and distribution, fire warning and extinguishing and engine/propeller control. This shall be established via records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide (for details refer to the Companion Volume Assessment Guidelines). 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. Individuals being assessed who have already attained MEA202 Remove and install basic aircraft electrical system components will have covered a significant amount of the skill and knowledge requirements for this unit plus part of the Performance Criteria for Elements 1 and 2 and associated range of conditions items. The Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement records relating to MEA202 Remove and install basic aircraft electrical system components may be accepted as also meeting the evidence requirements for this unit in the applicable areas. Guidance information in MEA202 Remove and install basic aircraft electrical system components regarding MEA274 Maintain basic light aircraft electrical systems and components should also be taken into consideration and the attainment of MEA277 Maintain twin engine aircraft electrical systems and components would significantly increase the extent of coverage of range of conditions variables. The Log of Experience and Achievement records relating to MEA274 Maintain basic light aircraft electrical systems and components and MEA277 Maintain twin engine aircraft electrical systems and components may also be accepted as meeting the evidence requirements for this unit in the applicable areas. |
