Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency is required by individuals seeking approval within Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 145 and Civil Aviation Regulation (CAR) 30 maintenance organisations to maintain general aviation recovery devices that have ballistic parachute systems. Coverage does not include the maintenance and re-packing of the parachute which is covered by unit MEA505 Maintain and pack parachutes.The unit requires the application of hand skills and knowledge of general aviation recovery devices (GARD) with ballistic parachute systems to remove, install and maintain the system when fitted to small aircraft. | ||
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. Ability to assess system serviceability and interpret remaining installed life 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 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 an approved maintenance course has been successfully completed and the relevant elements and the performance criteria of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on the ballistic parachute systems maintained by the organisation. 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). CAO 100.5 requires that training be delivered in the form of a maintenance course approved by a CAR 30 or CASR Part 145 maintenance organisation. Evidence of course completion forms part of the assessment criteria. Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors). |
