Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and knowledge of wiring standards and specifications to fabricate aircraft electrical looms, harnesses and cables in aircraft maintenance hangars and workshops during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is part of all Avionic Certificate IV training pathways. It is also part of the Mechanical Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licensing 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 work environment or simulated work environment using tools and equipment specified by aircraft in the maintenance manuals. It is also expected that applicable general-purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate. Evidence of knowledge about individual components and their links with systems will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to interpret requirements and fabricate components 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 a representative range of tasks, including: power distribution ignition control circuits signal circuits. 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. |
