Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Plan and specify aircraft/equipment systems performance tests
   • Aircraft/equipment system performance test requirements are established in accordance with airworthiness regulations, policies and procedures including work health and safety (WHS) requirements associated with engine running and system functional testing
   • Aircraft/systems performance tests are programmed in conjunction with appropriate personnel
   • Aircraft/systems performance test specifications are communicated to appropriate personnel in accordance with organisational policies and procedures
   • Test equipment calibration is managed in accordance with regulatory requirements and organisational policies and procedures
2. Assess aircraft/equipment systems performance
   • Test results are assessed for compliance with test specifications
   • Non-compliant test results are identified and diagnosed in consultation with appropriate personnel
   • Aircraft/equipment systems are assessed for airworthiness compliance
   • Rectification recommendations are produced and reported in accordance with airworthiness policies and procedures
   • Test results are documented in accordance with approved guidelines
