(a) Performance Evidence

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

          · ground handling of aircraft

          · using hand skills and tools to perform flight servicing activities

          · correctly installing and securing of aircraft hardware

          · locating, using and correctly stowing of aircraft safety and security equipment (includes ground locks, covers, support and safety devices and tie-down devices)

          · applying ground power (where applicable)

          · inspecting structure for damage and deterioration

          · recognizing external signs of component damage, leakage and security in aircraft systems

          · recognizing visual signs of damage, leakage and security with regard to engines and propellers (where applicable)

          · refueling the aircraft with the correct type, quantity and distribution of fuel

          · checking and replenishing fluid level using the correct fluids

          · recharging of gaseous levels using the correct support equipment and procedures

          · checking fire protection systems (where applicable) for correct gas charge levels and portable fire extinguishers for serviceability and correct stowage

          · replacing role equipment requiring pre-flight replacement

          · using of maintenance data and manuals to determine flight servicing requirements and procedures

          · applying standard procedures

          · observing all relevant WHS procedures, including the use of MSDS and items of PPE. 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.

(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 knowledge of:

          · standard trade practices relating to tool usage and installation/securing of aircraft hardware

          · the aircraft structure to the extent required to be able to recognize typical types of structural damage and deterioration during flight servicing activities

          · system layout, operation and typical external signs of faults to the extent required to perform flight servicing activities

          · aircraft flight servicing requirements

          · ground de-icing of aircraft

          · aircraft ground handling procedures, including towing and marshaling

          · aircraft safety and security equipment, including:

          · ground locks

          · wheel chocks

          · covers

          · support and safety devices

          · tie-down devices and picketing

          · types and characteristics of fuels and fuel additives

          · types and characteristics of lubricants

          · types and characteristics of hydraulic fluids

          · WHS procedures relating to flight servicing activities

          · how to obtain MSDS

          · selection and use of PPE

          · relevant maintenance manuals

          · relevant regulatory requirements and standard procedures.

          This field 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.

          Flight servicing activities are performed during:
          • Preparation for flight following maintenance

          • Before flight servicing

          • After flight servicing

          • Turn around servicing

          • Maintenance documentation includes:

          • Maintenance manuals

          • Servicing schedules

          • Applicable airworthiness regulations

          • Aircraft maintenance program

          • Procedures and requirements include:

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

          • The assessment are compose of paper exams , interviews, and practical demonstrations, which the paper exam is the main testing. The selection of interviews and practical demonstrations are depending on the assessors’ judgment.

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

          • 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 and performance criteria of this unit of competency are being achieved under routine supervision on the following flight servicings that are applicable to the enterprise:

                    · preparation for flight following maintenance

                    · before flight servicing

                    · after flight servicing

                    · turn around servicing.

          • This shall be established via the records in the Log of Industrial Experience and Achievement or, where appropriate, an equivalent Industry Evidence Guide (for details refer to the Companion Volume Assessment Guidelines).
