Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of procedures and techniques associated with the repair of non-pressurised small aircraft structure during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team and involves the performance of a limited range of metal and composite repairs. Where extensive repair involving the replacement of major structural components, such as wing spars and fuselage frames, is required the applicable unit is MEA371 Perform major repairs and modifications to small aircraft metal structure.The unit is part of the Aeroskills Mechatronics Certificates III and IV small aircraft maintenance training pathways. 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 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 across the variables in the Range of Conditions as follows: recognition of each type of damage: impact damage fatigue cracking corrosion delamination of composites and bonded structures one (1) repair task from each of the following groups: remove corrosion by chemical and mechanical methods restore protective coatings apply sealants and jointing compounds freehand precision hole generation remove and install structural hardware and fastening devices remove and replace bushes, bearings and bearing surfaces metal scab patch, flush, splice, lap and formed section repair composite external patch, scarf and stepped repairs. 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. The competency elements and performance criteria also cover a significant portion of those required for unit MEA339 Inspect, repair and maintain aircraft structures. Refer to that unit for details of credits that may be granted during assessment. |
