| | 2.2 | Information is interpreted and procedures to be followed are accurately determined |
3. | Apply information | 3.1 | Work steps are correctly identified in accordance with manual or specification procedures |
| | 3.2 | All correct sequencing and adjustments are interpreted in accordance with information contained in industry manuals or specifications |
4. | Amend manuals, specifications or drawings | 4.1 | Manual, specification or drawing changes and/or amendments are incorporated and documented correctly in accordance with statutory regulations and/or enterprise procedures |
5. | Store manuals, specifications or drawings | 5.1 | Manuals, specifications or drawings are stored appropriately to ensure prevention of damage, ready access and updating of information, when required, in accordance with regulatory and/or enterprise procedures |
Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment, and must include:
accessing and interpreting information from industry manuals, including paper-based, microfiche or computer-based media, relating to work activities, including determination of manual amendment status, knowledge of manual structures and locating relevant information/instructions for work activity
amending industry manuals to reflect current/approved amendment status
identifying and interpreting information from drawings and diagrams in aircraft maintenance manuals, including component scaling, section, assembly, location, drawing applicability and amendment status from the title block
correct handling and storage of drawings, manuals and industry media, i.e. microfiche and digital formats
calculating allowable dimension variations on a component from information in drawing title blocks and drawings
calculating dimensions from drawings for the purpose of manufacturing aircraft components and hardware.
The transferability of general manual interpretation and use in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices must be clearly established.
Evidence of underlying knowledge and skills associated with the interpretation and use of manuals is required to supplement understanding of the structure and regulatory requirements associated with the aircraft maintenance environment in this area.
Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:
the types of industry manuals used in aviation maintenance and types of media
requirements for custody and upkeep of industry manuals
techniques for obtaining and applying data contained in industry manuals.
Competency should be assessed in the work environment, or by use of simulated activities, covering the interpretation and use of enterprise aviation manuals, aircraft publications, process sheets, specifications and drawings applicable to the aircraft maintenance environment.
This unit must be linked in its assessment and application to those that apply to the actual maintenance of aircraft.
The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of the Regulators (ADF and CASA) and maintenance stakeholders and must be rigorously observed.
A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements and performance criteria of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on at least one manual from each of the following groups of publications:
aircraft publications, maintenance instruction manuals, process specifications, servicing or service bulletins or structural repair manuals
tooling or equipment manuals, manufacturer's manuals, standard practices, enterprise aviation regulations and publications
illustrated parts catalogues, aircraft wiring manuals or drawings.
This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide (for details refer to the Companion Volume Implementation Guide).
Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors).
Where the unit is to be used for CASA licensing purposes the Assessor must also meet the criteria specified in the CASR Part 147 Manual of Standards.
