Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | The unit of competency requires application of the skills and knowledge of MEM05044B Perform welds to code standards using gas tungsten arc welding process, to the welding of applicable aircraft parent metal groups as specified by the Regulators during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.This unit of competency covers the development of competency elements required to gain approval within the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) or the Australian Defence Force (ADF) regulatory systems to weld aircraft components using the gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. Individuals will be authorised to weld specific parent metal groups, as specified in CAAP 33-1(1) Aircraft manual welding: approvals and qualifications or RAAF Specification Engineering W5003 Welders – Qualification for Aircraft, Missile and Aerospace Fusion welding. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Test pieces specified for each parent metal group for which approval is sought may be completed in the workplace or a simulated workplace. The individual must be provided with all required equipment, consumables, PPE, materials and data/drawings relating to the test pieces that are required for the approvals being sought. Assessment of test pieces must be carried out in a testing facility that meets the requirements specified by the applicable Regulator. Assessment methods are specified in the CAAP 33-1(0) Aircraft manual welding: approvals and qualifications or RAAF Specification Engineering W5003 Welders – Qualification for Aircraft, Missile and Aerospace Fusion welding. Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors). |
