Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and the use of maintenance documentation/publications in the removal and installation of basic aircraft instrument system components of fixed and rotary wing aircraft that have basic instrument systems during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is part of the Avionic Certificate IV (Aircraft Maintenance Stream) training pathway. 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. Competency should be assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace using tools and equipment specified in maintenance manuals. It is also expected that general-purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine maintenance situations would be used where appropriate. An understanding of the attachment methods, connection of hardware, and the need for adjustment or calibration and system operation as they relate to the work must be demonstrated before undertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards. The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of the Regulators (ADF and CASA) and maintenance stakeholders 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 routine supervision on at least one (1) component from each of: pitot/static system components, ASIs, VSIs and counter pointer altimeters DGs and AHs, both air and electrically driven turn and bank and slip/turn coordinators remote reading gyro compass system (may be omitted if not relevant to the enterprise) direct reading compasses piston engine indication system components (direct reading measuring instruments and temperature indication) gas turbine engine indication system components (may be omitted if not relevant to the enterprise) electrical systems indication (voltage, current, power and frequency) basic fuel quantity indication system components pneumatic/vacuum indication system components. 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. Individuals being assessed who have already attained MEA275 Maintain basic light aircraft instrument systems and components will have met all of the criteria for this unit. The Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement records relating to MEA275 Maintain basic light aircraft instrument systems and components may be accepted as also meeting the evidence requirements for this unit. |
