Elements and Performance Criteria

The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Note
Range statements listed below are numbered to facilitate specification of the assessment requirements included in the Evidence Guide
Application
The competency applies to the certification of aircraft maintenance activities, including:
1. Scheduled maintenance
2. Unscheduled maintenance
3. Configuration changes
4. Modification incorporation
5. Repairs
In performing Tasks 1 to 5, knowledge is to be applied with regard to airworthiness regulatory systems and Australian legislation, and the application of compliance requirements in the performance, recording and certification of maintenance activities, as follows:
6. International and national regulatory bodies and recognition agreements, including bilateral agreements
7. Australian airworthiness regulatory bodies and the legislative framework
8. The basis of airworthiness certification and determination of non-conformity
9. Procedures for release of aeronautical product to service following maintenance
10. Procedures for certification of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities
11. Procedures for certification of the incorporation of modifications
12. Procedures for certifying the completion of repairs
13. Determining and applying configuration management procedures
14. Compiling and processing service difficulty reports
15. Compiling and processing technical investigation reports
16. Compiling and processing condition reports
17. Orally communicating on technical and airworthiness compliance topics
18. Communicating in writing on technical and airworthiness compliance issues

The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to apply without error legislative and regulatory requirements relating to the certification of aeronautical product maintenance.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
It is essential that airworthiness compliance requirements are interpreted and fully applied without error.
Evidence is required of underlying knowledge and skills associated with the application of airworthiness legislation and compliance requirements, along with evidence of appropriate levels of literacy and oral expression 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 supervision without intervention on a range of tasks fully representative of Groups 1 to 18 in the Range Statement. The body of evidence for this unit may be collected and logged during simulated activities at the CASR Part 147 MTO and/or performance during supervised workplace activities.
Knowledge must also be demonstrated of the concept of airworthiness that underpins the legislative framework and compliance requirements.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency should be assessed in the work environment under supervision but without intervention for the purpose of Journal entries, and/or by use of simulated activities in a CASR Part 147 MTO, covering the interpretation and application of airworthiness control and certification requirements.
Method of assessment
This unit must be linked in its assessment and application to those that apply to the performance of maintenance on the applicable items of aeronautical product.
