Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of hand skills and use of maintenance documentation to dismantle, inspect, maintain and assemble aircraft piston engine components or parts during scheduled or unscheduled maintenance under the guidance of a qualified person. Work under the guidance of a qualified person may be performed individually or as part of a team.Applications include piston engine components or parts in a workshop.The unit is part of a Mechanical Certificate II training pathway. Achievement of this unit will contribute towards the attainment of units MEA392 Disassemble aircraft piston engines, MEA393 Repair and/or overhaul aircraft piston engine cylinder assembly components, MEA394 Repair and/or overhaul aircraft piston engine crankcase assembly components and MEA395 Reassemble aircraft piston engines. 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). | ||
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 and special-purpose tools found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate. Ability to assess component serviceability under qualified person guidance and interpret parts requirements will be necessary 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 qualified person guidance on a representative range of components or parts, as follows: cooling systems engine cylinder assemblies engine crankcase assemblies accessory drives lubrication systems. 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). |
