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 apply hand skills and use maintenance publications and modification instructions to correctly fit small aircraft avionic modification sheetmetal components while applying all relevant safety precautions.

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

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable into other areas that require similar techniques. It is essential that procedures take into account all safety precautions and quality requirements, standards and practices, and processes associated with assembly.

Evidence of knowledge about enterprise procedures relating to avionic modification incorporation and practices relating to associated sheetmetal component installation will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to fit a range of sheetmetal components in a specific application.

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 qualified person guidance on the range of sheetmetal components listed in Groups 1 to 4 in the Range Statement. 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 work environment or simulated work environment using tools and equipment specified in maintenance documentation. It is also expected that general purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.

Method of assessment

Guidance information for assessment

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

applying relevant OHS procedures, including the use of MSDS and PPE

using enterprise procedures, approved maintenance documentation and aircraft publications relating to aircraft sheetmetal components

identifying various aircraft metals used for sheetmetal components and their basic metallurgy properties by interpretation of markings, numbering systems or visual, chemical or mechanical means

handling and storing aircraft metals used for sheetmetal components, including sealing agents, to industry standards

identifying aircraft sheetmetal assembly fasteners (metal and non-metallic) by interpretation of markings, numbering systems, size, shape and colour

correctly interpreting, modification drawings and hand sketches

using appropriate hand tools and machines to fit avionic modification sheetmetal components to the aircraft

freehand precision hole generation

applying corrosion prevention techniques during component fitment

restoring sealing and surface finishes

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

aircraft sheetmetal component construction principles

identification of primary, secondary and tertiary structure

aircraft sheetmetal assembly fasteners, their characteristics and identification

fits and clearances for fasteners

fitting methods for fasteners

use of grip pins

corrosion of aircraft structure and its prevention

application of surface finishes

relevant OHS procedures

how to obtain MSDS

use of PPE

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. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.

Note

Range statements listed below are numbered to facilitate specification of the assessment requirements included in the Evidence Guide

Sheetmetal components

Sheetmetal components may include:

1. Doublers for the installation of antennas

2. Brackets for the installation of avionic system components

3. Racks for components, such as transmitters/receivers

4. Hardware for the support of antenna cables and system electrical wiring

Application of this unit may relate to:

scheduled or unscheduled maintenance

individual or team-related activities

Procedures and requirements

Refer to industry standard procedures specified by manufacturers, regulatory authorities or the enterprise
