Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to perform flight servicing activities on the occasions as listed in the variables that are relevant to the organisation in accordance with relevant maintenance documentation, while applying all relevant OH&S procedures and standard processes.

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
It is essential that the specific aspects of the aircraft flight servicing are checked to ensure quality and safety standards are fully observed, understood and complied with. Safety precautions applicable to the system being maintained are to be fully observed. An understanding of system operation as it relates to the work must be demonstrated before undertaking any action.
Evidence of knowledge of system operation, recognition of defects and completion of documentation, the relationship of individual components and the links with other systems will be necessary to the extent required for completion of flight servicing before undertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards.
A person cannot be assessed as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements of this Unit of Competency are being achieved under routine supervision on the flight servicings listed in Groups 1 to 4 of the Range Statement that are applicable to the enterprise. This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide.

Context of and specific resources for assessment
Competency should be assessed in the work environment using procedures, tools and equipment specified in maintenance documentation. It is also expected that general purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.
