Description | |||
Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and the use of system/component knowledge and applicable test equipment to inspect, test and troubleshoot alternating current (AC) powered aircraft instrument systems, including the power supply, and to remove and install components during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Work may be performed individually or as part of a team.Applications include light fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft with piston or turbine engines.The unit is part of the small aircraft maintenance Certificate IV (Mechatronics) training pathway. Where a Civil Aviation Safety Authority (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 in maintenance documentation. It is also expected that applicable general-purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate. The application of testing procedures should clearly indicate knowledge of system operation, the relationship of individual components and the links with other systems (if applicable) within the limits of the aircraft/system fault-finding guide 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 system and at least one (1) major system component/line replaceable unit (LRU) from each of the following groups: DG, AH, AHRS and components, servo and encoding altimeters, remote reading gyro compasses and components piston engine and gas turbine engine indication system components fuel quantity indication and flow indication systems and components transmitter/indicator measuring instrument systems (pressure, temperature, vacuum) and components inverters and transformer/rectifier units. 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. |
