List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. | Prepare to perform routine repairs and minor modifications to aircraft internal fittings | 1.1 | Applicable repair scheme is determined in accordance with applicable maintenance publications and enterprise procedures |
| | 1.2 | All required materials and equipment are selected and organised in accordance with enterprise procedures and maintenance publications |
2. | Perform routine repairs to aircraft internal fittings | 2.1 | Sheet metal repairs and non-metallic material repairs are performed in accordance with approved repair scheme, ensuring that aircraft standard practices are used and standard process requirements are carried out while observing all relevant work health and safety (WHS) requirements, including the use of material safety data sheets (MSDS) and items of personal protective equipment (PPE) |
| | 2.2 | Work area is cleaned of all waste material |
| | 2.3 | Adjustments are made, where necessary, for components to operate within prescribed specifications |
3. | Complete routine repair activities | 3.1 | Required documentation is accurately completed and correctly processed in accordance with 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:
applying relevant WHS procedures, including the use of PPE and MSDS
using enterprise procedures, approved maintenance documentation and aircraft publications relating to aircraft sheet metal 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 sheet metal 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.
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.
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:
relevant WHS procedures
how to obtain relevant MSDS
the use of applicable items of PPE
aircraft sheet metal component construction principles and repair techniques at a basic level
aircraft non-metallic component construction principles and repair techniques at a basic level.
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.
The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of CASA 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 supervision but without intervention on a representative range of tasks involving the following:
sheet metal repairs involving:
removing corrosion by chemical and mechanical methods
restoring protective coatings to repaired areas
freehand precision hole generation
removing and installing fastening devices
routine repairs to sheet metal internal fittings
non-metallic material repairs involving:
repairs to fibreglass, sandwich honeycomb, nylon, Perspex, nomex core materials, and matrix resins
restoring protective coatings to repaired areas
freehand precision hole generation
removing and installing fastening devices.
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 Assessment Guidelines).
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.
