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 to remove and install fixed wing aircraft flight control system 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 units that require similar techniques. 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 Range Statement. An understanding of component attachment methods and the need for adjustment or rigging and system operation as it relates 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 at least one item from each of Groups 1 to 3 listed 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 .

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 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

Required Skills and Knowledge

Required skills

Look for evidence that confirms skills in:

Application of relevant occupational health and safety (OHS) practices

The use 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

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms 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

Relevant OHS practices

Relevant maintenance manuals

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. 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.

Flight control system components

Flight control system components may include:

1. Ailerons, elevators, rudders, trim tabs, speed brakes, spoilers, flaps and slats

2. Actuators - mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic or electric

3. Mechanical flight control components (cables, pulleys, guides, fairleads, tension regulators, control rods, bellcranks, torque tubes, chains, sprockets, control sticks, wheels or columns, trim wheels or handles, rudder pedals)

Application of this unit may relate to:

Scheduled or unscheduled maintenance activities

Individual or team related activities
