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!

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:

applying relevant WHS practices

using relevant maintenance documentation and aircraft manuals to:

remove flight control surfaces

check the mass balance of control surfaces, where required

install flight control surfaces

remove power flight control system components

install power flight control system components

remove mechanical flight control system components

install mechanical flight control system components.

It is essential that safety precautions applicable to the fixed wing flight control system being maintained are fully observed, understood and complied with (especially flight control system inter-relationships with other systems where applicable). An awareness of dual inspection requirements associated with work on flight controls and systems must also be demonstrated.

Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to removal and installation is essential. This may be demonstrated through removal and installation of a representative range of the fixed wing flight control system components listed in the Assessment Conditions.

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:

flight control surface and system component attachment methods

connection hardware and couplings

electrical circuit isolation and plug removal and installation

requirements for balancing of control surfaces

flight control system rigging requirements

requirements for independent inspection of work performed on flight control systems and components
