Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and the use of maintenance publications to repair aircraft internal fittings, such as internal doors that are not part of the pressure hull, overhead storage compartments and doors and cabin furnishing items that are manufactured from either sheet metal or non-metallic materials and are within the privileges of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) A Licence.Applications include fixed and rotary wing aircraft and work may be performed during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. This is one of the units required for the granting of the chosen Aircraft Maintenance Engineer A 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, using tools and equipment specified by aircraft maintenance manuals. It is also expected that general-purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate. 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 but without intervention on a representative range of tasks involving the following: sheet metal repairs involving: removing corrosion by chemical and mechanical methods restoring protective coatings to repaired areas freehand precision hole generation removing and installing fastening devices routine repairs to sheet metal internal fittings non-metallic material repairs involving: repairs to fibreglass, sandwich honeycomb, nylon, Perspex, nomex core materials, and matrix resins restoring protective coatings to repaired areas freehand precision hole generation removing and installing fastening devices. 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. |
