Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

Required documentation is accurately completed and correctly processed in accordance with enterprise procedures

Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment, and must include:

applying relevant WHS procedures, including the use of PPE and MSDS

using enterprise procedures, approved maintenance documentation and aircraft publications relating to aircraft sheet metal and non-metallic internal fittings

identifying various materials used for internal fittings and their basic properties by interpretation of markings, numbering systems or visual, chemical or mechanical means

handling and storing aircraft metals used for sheet metal internal fittings, including sealing agents, to industry standards

identifying aircraft sheet metal assembly fasteners (metal and non-metallic) by interpretation of markings, numbering systems, size, shape and colour

correctly interpreting applicable repair schemes and hand sketches

using appropriate hand tools and power tools under supervision to remove and assemble aircraft sheet metal internal fittings

performing under guidance and in accordance with enterprise procedures a range of routine metal and non-metal repair techniques

applying corrosion removal/treatment techniques

restoring sealing and surface finishes to repaired areas.

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable into other areas that require similar techniques. It is essential that procedures take into account all safety precautions and quality requirements, standards and practices, and processes associated with repair and assembly.

Evidence of knowledge about enterprise procedures relating to basic repair techniques and the use of the standard repair manual/practices in a range of different routine repair situations will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to plan and undertake internal fitting repairs.

Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include knowledge of:

relevant WHS procedures

how to obtain relevant MSDS

the use of applicable items of PPE

aircraft sheet metal component construction principles and repair techniques at a basic level

aircraft non-metallic component construction principles and repair techniques at a basic level.
