Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Prepare engine or module for testing
  2. Install engine in test stand
  3. Run and test engine or module performance
  4. Remove engine from test stand

Range Statement

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Engines include:

Fixed or rotary wing gas turbine engine (turbo-jet, turbofan, turboshaft, turboprop), or auxiliary power unit

Modules include:

Various combinations of gas turbine engine sections as determined by the manufacturer

Adjustment and testing includes:

Complex adjusting and testing of engine performance to be carried out under supervision

Procedures and requirements include:

Industry standard procedures specified by manufacturers, regulatory authorities or the enterprise

Performance Evidence

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

using relevant MSDS and items of PPE

using relevant maintenance manuals and standard enterprise procedures to:

prepare engines or modules for test running

install engines in test stands

test run and trim engines, where applicable

record engine operating parameters

remove engines from the test stand

complete documentation

configuring and inhibiting serviceable engines and modules for transport or storage.

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of repair and/or overhaul applications associated with gas turbine engines and/or modules. It is essential that the maintenance procedures (including the use of correct fuels and lubricants) are interpreted and applied to ensure quality and safety standards are achieved.

This shall be demonstrated through application across a number of gas turbine engine and/or module test runs. Capability to interpret test procedures and specifications (allowable limits) and apply them in practice is critical.
