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.

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.

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 one type of documentation from each of the following groups:

maintenance logs, overhaul test/check sheets, job history sheets, traveller cards, maintenance reports, irregularity reports, serviceable tags or removal tags
