Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of system theory knowledge and advanced fault diagnostic skills to identify during the performance of scheduled or unscheduled maintenance the cause of defects in fixed and rotary wing aircraft that are beyond the bounds of maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides. This may be done during individual activities or during supervision of other personnel. The unit covers competencies required to progress from an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) at Certificate IV to the granting of a chosen B1 maintenance certification licence under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 66, in accordance with the licensing provisions in the Companion Volume Implementation Guide and the Companion Volume CASA Interface.The skills and knowledge covered by the units of competency listed in the MEA Aeroskills Training Package for Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (Avionics or Mechanical as applicable) at Certificate IV are prerequisite to the attainment of the elements of competency specified in this unit. This includes full coverage of the CASR Part 66 Avionics or Mechanical Syllabus subjects/topics listed in the Companion Volume CASA Interface. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency is assessed in the workplace or simulated workplace and shall involve successfully dealing with a number of maintenance and fault scenarios across a range of systems listed in the Range of Conditions, and related system components. The troubleshooting approach should clearly demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of underpinning theory of a system, with this knowledge being used in a logical process to augment and extend the scope of the aircraft/ system fault-finding guide. The fault rectification work plan should take account of applicable safety (including safe handling of heavy components) and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards. The following conditions of assessment represent the requirements of CASA 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 and the ability to identify the causes of defects not covered fully by maintenance manual fault diagnosis guides has been demonstrated under supervision without intervention. This shall be established via simulated activities at the CASR Part 147 Maintenance Training Organisation and performance during observed workplace activities. The Assessor must meet the criteria specified in the CASR Part 147 Manual of Standards. |
