Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency requires application of skills and knowledge relating to the maintenance and fitment of helmets worn by aircrew and passengers. Maintenance involves inspection, testing, fault diagnosis, replacement of parts, cleaning and functional testing. Fitment involves adjusting the helmet to correctly fit an individual. Maintenance may be performed individually or as part of a team.Maintaining and fitting ancillary helmet equipment, such as illumination systems, night vision equipment and oxygen masks, is not part of this unit.This unit is part of the Aeroskills Life Support and Furnishing Certificate III and IV training pathways.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 workplace or simulated workplace using materials, tools and equipment specified in the maintenance manuals and applicable procedures. It is also expected that general and special-purpose tools and ground support equipment would be used where appropriate. 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 at least three (3) unserviceable helmets providing a representative range of maintenance tasks and on the correct fitting of helmets to at least three (3) individuals. 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). |
