Assessment Requirements for MEA241 Perform aircraft weight and balance calculations as a result of modifications

Modification History

Release 1 - New unit of competency

Performance Evidence

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:

calculating the effect on aircraft weight and centre of gravity of components installed during modification incorporation using weight and moment arm data.

The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable across a range of aircraft types. Ability to interpret the instructions for configuring and weighing aircraft is critical.

Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to aircraft weight and calculation of centre of gravity is essential

Knowledge Evidence

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:

mathematical formulae used to calculate centre of gravity of an aircraft.

Assessment Conditions

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 supervision without intervention.

This shall be established via simulated activities at the CASR Part 147 Maintenance Training Organisation and performance during observed workplace activities.

The Assessor must meet the criteria specified in the CASR Part 147 Manual of Standards.
