Perform advanced troubleshooting in aircraft avionic maintenance

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x

Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1.

Verify the defect

1.1

Available information from flight crew, such as flight phase, aircraft configuration etc., and maintenance documentation both current and previous history, are used as necessary, to assist in fault determination

1.2

Inspection of the affected system is carried out to check both physical integrity and correct operation

1.3

Information gained from Central Maintenance Systems is verified against physical integrity and correct operation, where applicable

1.4

The effects on a system from interfaces/integration with other systems are taken into account

2.

Isolate the defect

2.1

Logical processes, including the application of basic principles and system knowledge and known facts, are used to augment maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides to ensure efficient and accurate troubleshooting

2.2

Specialist advice is obtained, where required and/or available, to assist with the troubleshooting process

2.3

Faults are located and the causes of the defects are clearly identified and correctly recorded in maintenance documentation, including any other systems disturbed, where required

3.

Determine defect rectification requirements

3.1

Defect rectification requirements are determined and the necessary repair action initiated once verification and isolation of the defect are confirmed

4.

Verify defect rectification

4.1

Defect is rectified in accordance with approved maintenance data

4.2

All systems disturbed or accessed during troubleshooting are restored as applicable using maintenance manuals, repair schemes or approved maintenance data

4.3

All checks required by approved maintenance data to ensure correct operation of all disturbed systems are performed
