A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to correctly complete and process maintenance documentation applicable to maintenance tasks that are being performed. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
It is essential that information generated in the process of completing paperwork is in a form which is acceptable to the workplace environment and regulatory requirements in accordance with the relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices. Evidence of underlying knowledge and skills associated with the interpretation and completion of paperwork is required to supplement evidence of appropriate levels of literacy and numeracy, associated with presenting clear and concise information. A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on at least one type of documentation from each of Groups 1 and 2 from the Range Statement. This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry . |
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
Competency should be assessed in the work environment, or by use of simulated activities, covering the interpretation, use and completion of aircraft maintenance documentation in the maintenance environment in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices. This unit must be linked in its assessment and application to those that apply to the actual maintenance of aircraft. |
