Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Instructions to Assessors

Evidence Guide

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.

Overview of assessment

A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to remove and install aircraft electronic system components/LRUs while observing all relevant safety and component handling precautions.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that cleanliness requirements and safety precautions applicable to the system being maintained are fully observed, understood and complied with, as well as work practices associated with electrostatic sensitive devices.

Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to removal and installation is essential. This is to be demonstrated by application across a range of electronic system components as listed in the Range Statement. An understanding of the attachment methods, connection of hardware, and the need for adjustment or calibration and system operation as they relate to the work must be demonstrated before undertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards.

A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on sufficient components/LRUs of systems in Groups 1 to 9 to establish competency (Groups 6 to 9 may be omitted where they are not applicable to the enterprise). This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace using tools and equipment specified in 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.

Method of assessment

Guidance information for assessment

Individuals being assessed who have already attained MEA206C Remove and install aircraft basic radio communication and navigation system components, will have covered a significant amount of the skill and knowledge requirements for this unit plus part of the Performance Criteria for Elements 1 and 2 and associated Range Statement items. Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement records relating to MEA206C Remove and install aircraft basic radio communication and navigation system components, may be accepted as also meeting the evidence requirements for this unit in the applicable areas.

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

locating and identifying electronic navigational system components, including altitude reporting systems (transponder, encoder and control unit), remote attitude displays and Inertial Navigation and Reference Systems

locating and identifying multi function displays, including EFIS, EICAS, ECAM, FMCS and HUD

locating and identifying radio communication and navigation system components comprising UHF, SATCOM communications, DME, ILS, GNS radio navigation, TCAS, RADALT, radio system antennas, including half dipole, slotted, loop and marconi

locating and identifying primary and secondary radar system components including transmission lines, waveguide and antennas

locating and identifying cockpit voice recorder system components, internal communications, passenger/cockpit audio/visual components

applying relevant OHS practices

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

component attachment methods

connection of components and plugs

printed circuit boards

panel and rack mounting systems for electronic system components and LRUs

relevant OHS practices

the use of approved maintenance documentation and aircraft publications relating to the avionics systems and components being maintained

handling and maintenance precautions relating to gyroscopes, gimbals, electronic displays, airborne radar systems (including pressurised waveguides), electrostatic sensitive devices, radio installations

electromagnetic environment

relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures

Range Statement

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below.
