Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of knowledge regarding aircraft weighing and the use of relevant maintenance publications and modification data (where applicable) to weigh a fixed and rotary wing aircraft and use the results to calculate centre of gravity and confirm that it is within limits. Weighing may be performed during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance and involve individual activities and the supervision of other personnel.The unit covers competencies required to progress from an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) at Certificate IV to the granting of a chosen maintenance certification licence under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66, in accordance with the licensing provisions in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide and the Companion Volume CASA Interface.The skills and knowledge covered by the units of competency listed in the MEA Aeroskills Training Package for Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (Avionics or Mechanical as applicable) at Certificate IV are prerequisite to the attainment of the elements of competency specified in this unit. This includes full coverage of the CASR Part 66 Syllabus subjects/topics listed in the Companion Volume CASA Interface. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency may be assessed in the workplace or in the training environment. The aircraft weighing work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards, especially in relation to aircraft jacking and levelling. The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of CASA 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 supervision without intervention. This shall be established via simulated activities at the CASR Part 147 Maintenance Training Organisation and performance during observed workplace activities. The Assessor must meet the criteria specified in the CASR Part 147 Manual of Standards. |
