Employability Skills | |||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit of competency applies to members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) who are required to apply explosive ordnance safety and handling procedures, hand skills and the use of maintenance documentation/publications in the inspection, testing and troubleshooting of stores suspension systems (SSS) and components during the performance of scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Maintenance may be performed individually or as part of a team.The unit applies to all aircraft fitted with stores suspension systems.This unit of competency is part of the Armament Certificate IV training pathway. This unit is used in workplaces that operate under the airworthiness regulatory systems of the ADF. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency should be assessed on aircraft and/or simulator 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 unit may be assessed independently or in conjunction with unit MEA604 Inspect, test and troubleshoot aircraft stores management systems and components. Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to SSS and component inspection, testing and troubleshooting is essential. This is to be established through demonstration of the ability to: render the system safe perform relevant inspections and tests troubleshoot faults and perform appropriate rectification 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 ADF 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 a range of inspection, testing and troubleshooting tasks involving the following SSS components: bomb release unit pylon missile launcher. 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). In addition to evidence provided in the Log of Industrial Experience assessment methods may include questioning and observation in operational or simulated environments. Assessors must satisfy the requirements of the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Australian Skills Quality Authority, or its successors). |
