It requires application of WHS practices relevant to aviation maintenance workplaces in order to ensure own safety and that of others in the workplace.Workplaces include the flight line or tarmac, hangars and workshops. Maintenance activities include all scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on fixed or rotary wing aircraft and on the components thereof. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Where a CASA licensing outcome is sought this unit forms part of the CASA requirement for the granting of the chosen maintenance certification licence under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66, in accordance with the licensing provisions in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. Should a demonstration of skill application be necessary, the candidate must have access to all necessary tools, equipment, materials and relevant documentation. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency under routine supervision on at least one item from each of: applying general duty of care under WHS legislation and common law fluid and gas high and low pressure systems, including fluid handling (for example, hydraulic fluids, lubricants, compressed air, nitrogen and oxygen) fuelling/defuelling and working on fuel systems using and handling chemicals, including solvents and battery acids electrical systems, outlets and leads noise hazard areas and aircraft safety zones aircraft handling, towing, jacking, ground equipment operation and signage personal protection housekeeping and cleaning, waste disposal and FOD prevention practices and procedures.
