Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to fabricate aircraft electrical looms, cables and harnesses in accordance with applicable standards and specifications while observing all relevant safety precautions.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The underlying skills inherent in this unit should be transferable into other areas that require similar techniques. It is essential that the general aspects of material specification and selection, measurement and fabrication/manufacture are related to specific aircraft component applications.
Evidence of knowledge about individual components and their links with systems will be necessary to supplement evidence of ability to interpret requirements and fabricate components 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 the Unit of Competency are being achieved under routine supervision on a representative range of tasks from Groups 1 to 4 in the Range Statement. 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 or simulated work environment using tools and equipment specified by aircraft in the maintenance manuals. It is also expected that general purpose tools and test equipment found in most routine situations would be used where appropriate.
