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.
Application
Application of this unit may relate to:
scheduled or unscheduled maintenance
individual or team-related activities
Life cycle cost analysis
Life cycle cost analysis includes:
the systematic identification and analysis of all actual and anticipated costs associated with implementing and sustaining a system throughout its service life
Costs through to life of type
Costs through to life of type may arise from:
operation
engineering support
maintenance support
supply support
facilities costs
personnel costs
Data analysis
Data analysis:
may be performed using enterprise databases and analysis tools
Data review
Data is reviewed:
using enterprise databases and analysis tools
Analysis Results
Analysis results may include:
in-service failure mode effects and criticality analysis
corrective maintenance analysis
reliability centred maintenance analysis
maintenance task analysis
repair level analysis
Regulatory requirements
Regulatory requirements may be found in:
Civil Aviation Regulations (CARs) or Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs)
AAP 7001.053 Technical Airworthiness Maintenance Manual
A technical data management system
A technical data management system should provide for:
maintenance of all applicable technical data
retention of original and backup data in separate locations
storage in a manner that minimises the risk of data loss, theft or destruction
The relevance of technical data
The relevance of technical data may be determined through:
monitoring engineering, maintenance and supply support activities
utilising user feedback

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 perform management-related ILS activities in support of the maintenance of aircraft, systems and items of aeronautical product.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is, the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The candidate must have access to all relevant ILS management tools, equipment, materials and documentation required and must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
