Elements of Competency
Performance Criteria
Element: Determine requirement to weigh an aircraft
Determine regulatory, aircraft manufacturer, and organisational requirements for weighing aircraft
Identify modifications or repairs that necessitate the weighing of aircraft
Identify regulatory requirements for weighing the aircraft, and required time intervals for re-weighing it
Identify regulatory requirements for establishing fleet weight values, and required time intervals for re-establishing them
Determine applicable weighing procedure
Assemble required support equipment and scales or load cells, and personnel qualified to perform the weighing activity
Ensure aircraft is prepared for weighing according to aircraft maintenance manuals, applicable data, and work health and safety (WHS) requirements
Ensure aircraft is placed on weighing equipment and set up in required weighing attitude while observing WHS requirements
Weigh aircraft according to specified procedure
Ensure aircraft is restored to operating configuration
Element: Calculate and assess centre of gravity
Determine aircraft empty weight from weighing results
Use required moment arm data and mathematical formulas to calculate empty weight CG
Initiate remedial action according to regulatory requirements and organisational procedures if CG is outside certificated limits for aircraft type
Element: Update aircraft weighing record
Update aircraft weighing summary with revised aircraft empty weight and empty weight CG data according to regulatory requirements and organisational procedures
Revise load data sheet as required to align with revised aircraft weighing summary weight and balance data
Element: Develop or update an aircraft loading system
Determine fore and aft CG weight and balance extreme conditions, and revise load data sheet and loading system as required
Calculate aircraft operational weight and operational weight CG for entry on to load data sheet and for use in developing or revising aircraft loading system
For small aircraft, develop or revise loading system using placards placed in aircraft or information in Aircraft Flight Manual
For large aircraft, calculate weight and balance data for required passenger and cargo loading requirements or configurations, and present data in a form that meets regulatory and organisational requirements for a system that guides and controls aircraft loading
Update or provide data for updating computers used for aircraft loading and weight and balance computations
Provide data to designated authority for the amendment of flight manual content relating to aircraft weight and balance

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
