Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of hand skills, the use of maintenance publications and knowledge of two stroke petrol engine and system theory to inspect, test and troubleshoot, remove and install aircraft two stroke petrol engines and engine system components during the performance of scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Maintenance may be performed individually or as part of a team.Applications include aircraft two stroke petrol engines driving fixed pitch propellers. Where the engine is driving a constant speed propeller, MEA307 Remove and install propeller systems and components and MEA315 Inspect, test and troubleshoot propeller systems and components, will also be required.The unit is part of the Mechanical Certificate IV (Aircraft Maintenance Stream) training pathway. Where a Civil Aviation Safety Authority (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 documentation. It is also expected that general-purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate. The application of testing procedures and functional checks should indicate knowledge of system operation. Engine system operation knowledge, the relationship of individual components and the links with other systems will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to carry out engine control system checks and troubleshoot the system within the limits of the aircraft/system fault-finding guide 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) item from each of the following groups: two stroke petrol aircraft engines, main components, including reduction gearboxes and accessories/drives ignition systems control systems starter systems fuel and air systems cooling systems (liquid or air as applicable to enterprise) exhaust systems. 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 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. |
