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!

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Routine maintenance, repair or modification processes are performed on:

Non-structural removable components of fuselages, fairings, nacelles, empennage, wings and thrust reversers. For non-pressurised aircraft – entry, cargo, access doors and associated seals, windows and transparent panels

Trim panels, linings, seats, cabin equipment and consoles, floor panels, coverings, emergency equipment, including passenger escape systems and inflatable slides, where appropriate (excluding removal and installation of slides fitted to wide-bodied aircraft), and cargo, crew and/or passenger seat restraints

Stowages for life jackets, rafts, location transmitters and beacons, including the removal and installation of the equipment, where applicable

Routine work:

Is carried out using basic operational knowledge and a defined range of skills (‘routine’ work is that which follows a customary or regular course of procedure)

Work outcomes:

Are achieved by applying known solutions chosen from a limited range of pre-determined options consistent with enterprise procedures. This includes accepting responsibility for own work in terms of quality of outcomes using pre-determined specifications of quality

Primary structure:

Note that ‘primary structure/structural’ refers to all components of an aircraft, the failure of which would seriously endanger safety, e.g. wing or tailplane spars, main fuselage frames, engine bearers, portions of skin that are highly stressed. ‘Non-primary’ refers to any other items

The scope of any modification and the procedure to be followed:

The scope of any modification and the procedure to be followed will be provided by the qualified person, and be within the scope of the skills and knowledge included in the unit of competency MEA109 Perform basic hand skills, standard trade practices and fundamentals in aviation maintenance

Repair includes:

Standard techniques as defined by the qualified person and/or the relevant maintenance manual

Maintain includes:

Removal and installation, cleaning, inspection for wear or damage and consequent replacement of parts, and routine adjustment and lubrication, where applicable, in accordance with enterprise procedures

Procedures and requirements include:

Industry procedures specified by manufacturers, regulatory authorities or the enterprise
