Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Interpret documentation
  • 1.1. Documentation requirements are determined and accessed, where necessary, from relevant sources in accordance with regulatory and enterprise procedures
  • 1.2. Information contained in existing documentation is interpreted correctly and, where necessary, requirements carried out in accordance with regulatory and enterprise procedures
2. Complete documentation
  • 2.1. Information requirements for new documentation or updating of existing documentation are determined to allow for accurate completion of records
  • 2.2. Documentation is completed accurately and clearly to enable information to be easily read or interpreted
3. Store and distribute documentation
  • 3.1. All procedures for storing and distributing documentation are followed to ensure ready access when required in accordance with regulatory and enterprise procedures
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
Documentation
Documentation may include:
1. Maintenance logs, overhaul test/check sheets, job history sheets, traveller cards, maintenance reports, irregularity reports, serviceable tags or removal tags
2. MSDS or material record sheets
Regulatory and enterprise procedures
Regulatory and enterprise procedures may be found in:
CARs or CASRs
maintenance organisation manual
procedures manual
work instructions
quality manual
safety manual
applicable defence regulations and instructions
standing instructions
Application
Application of this unit may relate to on-aircraft and workshop-related activities in the aircraft maintenance environment
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 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.
