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 repair aircraft internal fittings made from sheet metal and non-metallic materials 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 repair and assembly.

Evidence of knowledge about enterprise procedures relating to basic repair techniques and the use of the standard repair manual/practices in a range of different routine repair situations will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to plan and undertake internal fitting repairs.

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 supervision but without intervention on a representative range of tasks involving Groups 1 to 9 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 sheetmetal and non-metallic internal fittings

identifying various materials used for internal fittings and their basic properties by interpretation of markings, numbering systems or visual, chemical or mechanical means

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

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

correctly interpreting applicable repair schemes and hand sketches

using appropriate hand tools and power tools under supervision to remove and assemble aircraft sheet metal internal fittings

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

applying corrosion removal/treatment techniques

restoring sealing and surface finishes to repaired areas

Required knowledge

Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of:

relevant OHS procedures

how to obtain relevant MSDS

the use of applicable items of PPE

aircraft sheet metal component construction principles and repair techniques

aircraft non-metallic component construction principles and repair techniques

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

Repairs

Sheetmetal repairs may include:

1. Removing corrosion by chemical and mechanical methods

2. Restoring protective coatings to repaired areas

3. Freehand precision hole generation

4. Removing and installing fastening devices

5. Routine repairs to sheetmetal internal fittings

Non-metallic material repairs may include:

6. Repairs to fibreglass, sandwich honeycomb, nylon, perspex, nomex core materials and matrix resins

7. Restoring protective coatings to repaired areas

8. Freehand precision hole generation

9. Removing and installing fastening devices

Application of this unit may relate to:

scheduled or unscheduled maintenance activities

repair of metallic or non-metallic interior fittings, including interior trim panels (sidewalls, galleys, toilets, roof panels, floor panels), overhead lockers, cargo lining and internal doors that are not part of the aircraft pressure hull

Procedures and requirements

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