Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of woodworking hand skills and knowledge and the use of maintenance publications to inspect and repair aircraft wooden structure and wooden components during the performance of scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Maintenance may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit is part of the Mechanical Certificate IV (Aircraft Maintenance Stream) 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 general-purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate. 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 all of the following: inspection and/or testing of: drainage and water and dirt collection points fabric covered plywood surfaces single and double plywood skin structural timbers and bolt holes glued joint strength glue lines inspection techniques must include visual inspection, physical checks, mensuration and alignment repair of: load carrying structural timbers plywood skin spars and ribs. refinishing of structure after repair using approved finishing scheme. 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. |
