Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify task requirements
  • 1.1. Task requirements are determined or confirmed, and clarified to ensure correct interpretation of specifications or requirements
2. Plan steps to complete task
  • 2.1. Task is interpreted and relevant steps are identified to ensure efficient conduct of work to meet specifications in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices
  • 2.2. Steps are planned in conjunction with the work of other personnel to allow achievement of practical outcomes, in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices
  • 2.3. Human factors are allowed for in planning of steps
3. Organise work
  • 3.1. Work activity is organised with other involved personnel, allowing for relevant human factors and using relevant communication processes to ensure safe and appropriate sequencing of tasks
  • 3.2. All necessary documentation related to job planning and progress is completed, and recorded in accordance with relevant aircraft publications/maintenance regulations/orders and standards and practices
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
team-related activities
single or multiple tasks
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 plan and organise work activities involving more than one person in the case of single and multiple tasks while allowing for human factors and observing all relevant OHS procedures.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The relationship between broader planning and organising requirements and service specific procedures must be clearly linked.
Evidence of underlying knowledge and skills associated with the general application of planning and organising while allowing for relevant human factors and OHS requirements is required to supplement evidence of ability to integrate these processes in conjunction with other personnel in the workplace.
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 single and multiple tasks involving more than one person. 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 planning and organising situations applicable in the aircraft maintenance environment.
This unit must be related in its assessment and application to all other units, particularly those that apply to the actual maintenance of aircraft.
