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 under qualified person guidance to repair aircraft non-primary structure non-metallic 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 routine basic repair techniques and the use of the standard repair manual/practices in a range of situations will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to plan and undertake component repair under qualified person guidance.

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 a representative range of components in Group 2 using applicable materials from Group 1, as 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 Evidence Guide.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Competency should be assessed in the work environment, using tools and equipment specified by aircraft 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:

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

using enterprise procedures, approved maintenance documentation and aircraft publications relating to aircraft non-primary structural non-metallic components

identifying various aircraft non-primary structural non-metallic components and their basic properties by interpretation of markings, numbering systems or visual, chemical or mechanical means

handling and storing aircraft non-metallic components, including sealing agents, to industry standards

identifying aircraft assembly fasteners by interpretation of markings, numbering systems, size, shape and colour

correctly interpreting, with expert guidance and in accordance with enterprise procedures, non-primary structural non-metallic repair scheme/modification drawings and hand sketches

using appropriate hand tools and machines under guidance of a qualified person to remove and assemble aircraft non-metallic components

performing under guidance and in accordance with enterprise procedures a range of routine non-primary structural non-metallic repair techniques

restoring sealing and surface finishes

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

aircraft non-metallic component construction principles and repair techniques at a basic level

how to obtain relevant MSDS

the use of applicable items of PPE

OHS 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

The Range Statements below are numbered to facilitate specification of the assessment requirements included in the Evidence Guide

Competency application

Competency applies to the use of applicable non-metallic materials for the routine repair and/or minor modification under guidance of a qualified person to non-primary structural non-metallic components, as follows:

1. Non-metallic materials can include fibreglass, sandwich honeycomb, nylon, perspex, nomex core materials and matrix resins

2. Components include interior trim panels (sidewalls, galleys, toilets, roof panels and floor panels), cargo lining, fairings and windows

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

Note that the scope of any modification and the procedure to be followed will be provided by the qualified person.

Work environment

Work is undertaken either autonomously or as part of a team and under the guidance of a qualified person.

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.

Scope

Skills and knowledge applied to repairs are limited to those specified in the unit of competency MEA109B Perform basic hand skills, standard trade practices and fundamentals in aviation maintenance

Procedures and requirements refer to:

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