Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of skills and knowledge relating to the manufacture, repair and alteration of aircraft and support equipment fabric components. Manufacture and alteration may be to existing designs or may also involve design. Repair may involve sewing and/or the use of adhesives.The unit applies to a range of aircraft environmental protection sets, aircraft life support equipment components, aircraft soft furnishings and associated trimming, aircrew personal fit and associated life support equipment, and to ground support equipment covers.The unit is part of the Aeroskills Life Support and Furnishing Certificate III and IV training pathways. 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 workplace or simulated workplace using materials, tools and equipment specified in the maintenance manuals and applicable procedures. It is also expected that general and special-purpose tools and ground support equipment would be used where appropriate. 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 the following tasks: recognising the limits of own authority correctly manufacture three fabric components from technical instructions using machine sewing and at least one other assembly method (hand sew, press fit, adhere or staple) recognising at least three faults and identifying limits of repair for the fabric components altering a fabric component to meet customer requirements. 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). |
