(a) Performance Evidence

     Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria under the specified conditions of assessment, and must include:

•  Locating and identifying radio communication and navigation system components comprising:

•   HF and VHF communications.

•   VOR and ADF navigation systems.

•   ELT systems.

•   Locating and identifying applicable radio system antennas.

•   Removing and installing communication and navigation system components including antennas.

•   Applying relevant WHS practices.

     It is essential that cleanliness requirements and safety precautions applicable to the system being maintained are fully observed, understood and complied with, as well as work practices associated with electrostatic sensitive devices.

     Evidence of transferability of skills and knowledge related to removal and installation is essential. This is to be demonstrated by application across a range of radio communication and navigation system components as listed in the Assessment Description and Procedure. 



(b) Knowledge Evidence

      Evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements and performance criteria and include basic knowledge of:

•   Component attachment methods.

•   Connection of hardware and plugs.

•   Handling precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices.

•   Relevant WHS practices.

•  The use of approved maintenance documentation and aircraft publications relating to radio communication and navigation systems and components.

•   Basic layout and working principles to block diagram level of: 

    •   HF communication systems.

    •   VHF communication systems.

    •   ADF navigation systems.

    •   VOR navigation systems.

    •   ELT systems.

•   Relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures.

This part allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Communication and navigation system components include:   

•   High frequency (HF) and very high frequency (VHF) communication and applicable antennas.

•   Automatic direction finding (ADF) and very high frequency Omni-directional range (VOR) navigation and applicable antennas.

•   Emergency location transmitter (ELT).

Procedures and requirements include:   

•   Industry standard procedures specified by manufacturers, regulatory authorities or the enterprise.

The assessment are based on combination of paper exams, interviewing, and practical demonstrations depending on the assessors’ judgement.

•   Competency should be assessed in the work environment or simulated work environment, using tools and equipment specified in maintenance manuals. It is also expected that general-purpose tools, test and ground support equipment found in most routine maintenance situations would be used where appropriate.

•   An understanding of the attachment methods, connection of hardware, and the need for adjustment or calibration and system operation as they relate to the work must be demonstrated before undertaking any action. The work plan should take account of applicable safety and quality requirements in accordance with the industry and regulatory standards.

•   An individual cannot be evaluated as competent until it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the workplace assessor that the relevant elements and performance criteria of the unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on at least one (1) item from each of:

•   HF and VHF communication and applicable antennas.

•   ADF and VOR navigation and applicable antennas.

•   ELT.

•   This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide.
