Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of skills in the use of electrical test equipment to measure voltage, current, frequency and phase angle, and to test continuity, resistance, insulation and bonding.Applications include aircraft and components both in the hangar and workshop 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 electrical test equipment specified in maintenance documentation. It is also expected that applicable test equipment can be selected on the basis of general trade knowledge where specific test equipment is not specified. 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 in the selection of appropriate items of test equipment and their use to perform the measurements and test each of: volts, amps and power frequency phase angle (may be omitted if not relevant to the enterprise) continuity, resistance and insulation bonding. 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. |
