Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of hand skills, the use of special tools, structural repair manuals and approved repair schemes to repair aircraft structure during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Where fabrication of replacement components is required the applicable units are MEA420 Fabricate basic structural components for aircraft and MEA421 Fabricate advanced structural components for aircraft. Where major structural disassembly is required the applicable unit is MEA423 Aircraft structure major disassembly and reassembly.Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.Applications include the metal structure of fixed and rotary wing aircraft.The unit is part of the Aeroskills Structures Maintenance Certificate IV training pathway. It is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). | ||
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 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 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: remove corrosion by chemical and mechanical methods restore protective coatings apply sealants and jointing compounds freehand precision hole generation remove and install structural hardware, fastening devices, bushes, bearings and bearing surfaces remove and repair damaged sections and reinstall. 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). |
