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 all safety procedures relating to aircraft SSS

applying hand skills in removal and installation of SSS components

using ground support equipment and test equipment

applying system and component knowledge and logical fault-finding procedures and applicable maintenance data in the troubleshooting of SSS and component faults

performing system functional tests and checks to isolate system faults and assess post-maintenance serviceability

explosive ordnance safety and handling procedures

manual handling of SMS components.

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of aircraft SSS and system component inspection, testing and troubleshooting activities. It is essential that assessment confirms the ability to comply with organisational safety requirements and appropriate legislative and regulatory requirements while maintaining SSS. The ability to work safely within an explosive ordnance environment, conduct applicable tests and maintain relevant documentation is critical, including checking specifically for:

failure to check aircraft safety devices are installed

failure to ensure firing devices checked and removed if fitted

commencing task prior to initiating documentation

failure to comply with relevant WHS procedures and policies.

Knowledge 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 and include knowledge of:

the aircraft operating and maintenance environment

aircraft SSS and component operation and interfaces with other aircraft systems

hardware and component attachment methods

WHS procedures and policies

explosive ordnance safety and handling procedures

technical publications and manuals

technical documentation procedures.
