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!

MEA241 - Perform aircraft weight and balance calculations as a result of modifications

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Calculate the weight and balance impact of a modification

  1. The requirement for aircraft weighing is determined
  2. The new empty weight of the aircraft is determined and it is ensured that the weight is within the predetermined limits set by the Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO)
  3. The new empty weight centre of gravity of the aircraft is calculated using the weight and moment arm data for a modification and it is ensured that the centre of gravity is within the predetermined limits set by the CAMO
  4. Maintenance records are updated with new figures

Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment, and must include:

calculating the effect on aircraft weight and centre of gravity of components installed during modification incorporation using weight and moment arm data.

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of aircraft types. Ability to interpret the instructions for configuring and weighing aircraft is critical.

Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to aircraft weight and calculation of centre of gravity is essential

Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

mathematical formulae used to calculate centre of gravity of an aircraft.
